The table runner is finished

 Well the weather has been changing. One day it is hot and in the 100s and now the daytime is in the 70s. The morning weather report said it will be in the 80s then back to the 90s. Last week they said rain...of course it did not rain at our house. Along also was the wind...at times it was howling. Murphy was not happy with that.

Lisa and I made a Christmas table runner. It was a SAL (stitch along) with Sew Quilty Friends with  Jacquelynn Steves. First time quilting for Lisa and she did a great job. I did the cutting and embroidery. What a team. 

We made valances for the kitchen...

This is over the slider and then we made one for the window. It is a double valance. The soft batik and then a slightly longer one of beige and white markings under it. Our plan is to make other sections....top/bottom to change it up.

We always have help from Murphy. He has a few times pushed with his foot on the control. He is right at our feet as we sew.  If allowed he would eat scraps of cloth and thread pieces so one eye on the project and one on him. We are working on gifts now..... no, cannot tell you what and who! Still working on Christmas ornaments. All creating is when my hands are cooperative. 

Thank you to many of you for your kind words of sympathy for EvaP, our mom. So comforting to know that you care. It has been a crazy year loss of some friends and now mom. 

Time for a cup of coffee and my feet up. Maybe jot down ideas. Thank you for stopping by. Glad to read you kind words and thank you for your friendship.
