Another Runaway Done!
Posted on February 25, 2014 at 12:01pm 9 Comments 0 Favorites
Well now, here's another abandoned table runner from the cavernous place I call my closet. It was rather fun to uncover so many "almost finished" projects. What another find almost finished. It took so little time before attaching the binding. What was I thinking putting this goody away?! Geese! To read more…
My Runaway Runner!

My 'just finished project,' I call this my runaway runner because it's been hiding from me for about three years. Poor orphan that I've neglected. When Christmas was over I decided to begin spring cleaning and the first place I started was my bedroom closet. The most "stuff" that was pulled out of there was quilting…

What do you do when a friend gives you half their wool stash? Hummmm…
I was over at Teri’s house when she decided to purge her wool stash. Now, this is not just a casual stash; it was a well-cherished, thought-out cache of woolie love. And, this is only half of it!

You are truly such a blessing to me and so many others! Thank you for the positive comments. They are needed right now!
Mari!!! I'm so glad to find you on here! Did you design the recent Checkerboard Stars Quilt for CT that was featured? I soooooo wanted to order this kit but 4 days after my catalog arrived, it was out of stock. I asked if the pattern would be available and was told probably not. :( I'm devastated!! Well, not like end of the world devastated but, you know. I had finally found the quilt of all quilts (in my opinion!) and wanted to make this for my bedroom. I've been looking for 2 years for a pattern and fabrics to make just the right quilt for my room, and alas! It was here....for like 30 sec! :) While I'm glad this pattern went over so well, I'm sad that it disappeared so fast! Any chance that even if I cannot get the kit, you will post the pattern? Please? Pretty please???? :*) I promise chocolate! :) LOL!!!
Thank you for your time and no matter what, your design was fantastic!!
Are they Danny, Nathan, Crystal & Josiah? finally got the names right after talking to my daughter. They went to school with my kids.
Hi Mari-You're right this is a fun & cute pattern-I've read all the way through and I have my materials, but now I've run short of time. I am enjoying all the comments and finally seeing Lou Ann's first block. Since I can't really contribute I'm just staying mum for the time being & I'll just jump in when my life slows down! Thank you for offering it to us as a quilt along!!
