Cold and Rainy


Well, the weather has turned to ugliness. It has been raining for two days and by tomorrow it is suppose to be snowing. Great opening day for deer season. The husband isn't even excited about going hunting in the morning.
Here is the table runner I made for my sister. Orginally I was going to keep it for myself, but I thought it would be nice to give her for the holidays. It turned out really nice. I quilted it by stitching in the ditch. I used a basting spray for the first time. That stuff works great. It would have been easier to do if I would have had an extra set of hands to lay everything out, but I managed. I had to pull it apart a couple of times to get it right. I really hope she likes it. This picture doesn't show all the detail of the fabric, but it is super cool, if you like S'more snowmen (which I love).
I got the quilt top to the quilter a couple of days ago. I told her to do whatever design she wanted on it. I'm sure it will turn out great. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have it back and the binding put on.
I'm heading off to Dallas on Monday for training. We received the draft agenda today. We are going to have a couple of very long days. They are trying to cram a bunch of information into a day and a half of training. We'll see how it goes. I'm off to search for a quilt shop near the hotel. Maybe I'll find some neat treasures while I'm there.
