Yikes....stripes...

So....remember that placemat I showed you the other day? Well, as Jan was finishing that, I commented on how it was too bad we didn't have a Valentine's stripe this year that we could do one of our 60 degree runners out of. Then, inspiration hit! We had often thought about doing this, so why not? Let's make our own striped fabric! We quickly decided on three fabrics (which is monumental in itself - we rarely decide on any fabric choices quickly!) Jan sewed and I pressed and voila...a fun 60 degree runner made from three fabrics. Yesterday, Jan worked with me and she layered and quilted it. We'll have it up on the wall sometime Monday.

So, today the plan is to do some paperwork, tidy up a bit, a little laundry, a "To Do Note" for Harriet and Diane on Monday morning (Tri-County meeting in Mt. Vernon for me), maybe dinner with my Mom and then play with some fabric! I am absolutely determined to finish the project I found in my cleaning of the sewing room. It's a large log cabin quilt for our bed....probably at the half way point, if not further. I also am fiddling with the leftover Honeybun strips from my Valentine's basket and designing a tablerunner...I think? We'll see if it works!

Have a wonderful Sunday everybody!!
