WIP Wednesday

I spent all my spare time handquilting the past week.  I finished quilting the blocks in my Fall Applique quilt and I am now out to the borders.  The end is in sight.



Hand-Pieced Scrappy Star Runner (click on the photo to enlarge and check out all the wonderful little scrappy diamonds)
I was also very lucky to win this awesome giveaway on Holly's blog .  A super- scrappy diamond star runner UFO that was just not going to be completed so she decided to let it go to a good home in the hopes of  becoming a finished project.   I spent some time yesterday working on the handpiecing.  I haven't handpieced for a while.  My stitching isnt as skillful as Holly's. Now I have to figure out how I will finish the edges.  This will look so nice on my kitchen table.  Holly also included a large pile of extra diamonds that I can use in another project.  I have something in mind. 

Still waiting for my Pfaff to be returned from the shop.  I called about it today and hopefully I will have it back soon.  I need to get my sample done for the FreeMotion Challenge before the end of the month. 

I am linking up with   The Needle and Thread Network.  Stop by and see what everyone is working on.
