Be My Valentine Table Runner

Posted on February 3, 2023 | 20 comments

Be My Valentine table runner by Cherry Guidry was a fun squirrel project to make!

I knew this table runner would be a great fit for my large cabinet!

Of course, one wouldn’t have to make it this big. One could sew just a couple of hearts for the size needed (my finished size turned out to be about 16.25″ x 63″).

The quilting doesn’t really show up on the back, not just because I haven’t washed this yet (for the texture), but because the backing that I chose is a busy print.

This project was a very enjoyable break away from the computer (genealogy, ya know)!

Cherry has a wonderful website called Cherry Blossoms…you might like to check it out!

January 2023 Goal Setting

Posted on January 3, 2023 | 27 comments

I was privileged to end 2022 by having my 91-year-old Mom come for a visit. She stayed long enough to see 2023 come in. We watched movies, played games, and simply enjoyed each other’s company.

Time very well spent!

Now that she is safely back to her home, it is time to turn my attention to some goal setting.

I decided to join Karen Brown at Just Get It Done Quilts for her Sewing Room Declutter Challenge. I put a link in my side bar; perhaps you would also like to join.

There are many UFO helps in Blogging Land, but this year, I am joining Cherry Guidry at Cherry Blossoms Quilting. Cherry has created a very nice UFO Tracker and a support Facebook group.

I thought I had my UFOs listed, but I searched my computer and my sewing room and couldn’t find the list. So…I will be writing those projects down as I find them while decluttering this week.

One thing I know for sure. I intend to finish quilting my daughter’s Patriotic quilt. I think this will be first!

I posted about her quilt here. I did indeed begin quilting, but only got so far as stitching in the ditch. Time to get this done and return the quilt to her!

There are nonrelated sewing goals of course. Organizing my computer should probably be one of them. Heh, heh!

May you all be blessed with a healthy and happy New Year!
