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.
