Blog Post #100!!

100 posts in 2 1/2 years...is that a lot, not much or pretty average?



Here's what I am working on now. It is a table runner for my sister Betty in Malaysia. I made it from the scraps leftover from a quilt I made from an 18 pc fat quarter pack of Dutch fabrics that she brought me home a few years ago when she used to live in Holland. My younger sister Marianne (who lives 10 minutes away from me) is going to visit Betty in 2 weeks and will be taking the table runner plus other items along with her own luggage so I have to keep whatever I am sending compact and light. I intended to machine quilt it but decided to send it just as a top in order to reduce the bulk and she can quilt it herself. She wont mind doing that, she is a very good machine quilter. I will be adding an additional 2 inch border in the white. Her table is large..3 ft x 8 ft. The table runner measures 87 x 19.5 inches
