Friendship tablerunner




Hi! Everyone, These are pictures of the swap project I mailed out on Wed. Can't say where or who just yet because its supposed to be a surprise. I had so much fun working on this project, finding the Italian theme fabric and already had the Chef designs(from hatchedinafrica.com) and the herb designs(from emblibrary.com); I couldn't put together a better match. It was like they were made for each other. Tomrrow, I'm going back to Hobby Lobby to see if I can get more of the Italian thene fabric to put in my stash.
Well, I've just got all my quilitng done for a while. Have to finish one more project then I'm taking a break from quilting and going to make some summer clothes for my granddaughters and maybe something for me. I haven't done any garment sewing in a long while. Need to do something different for a change. But first have to finish my mother's lapquilt that should have been finished before I started the swap runner but I ran out of time and had to get the Friendship runner finished and in the mail before June 1. I gave Mother flowers for Mother's Day but told her something else was coming but didn't tell what it was or anything about it. So its still a surprise.
Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer. Tonight we went over to my mother's and spent the evening on her screen porch overlooking the lake. It was fanstatic! Her porch is built almost on a second story so you really get a grand view of the lake. There is nothing like early summer in Alabama but before the humidity and heat sets in!!! Take care, Chris
