Sew what?!

Got some sewing in this weekend, but it wasn't the Sweetheart Ball dress at all.  I've got a wedding of a niece/Godchild coming up and I hadn't made anything for her yet!  So after agonizing in my sewing stash for over an hour, settled on this for a table runner.  It's reversible and you can kind of see the pattern on the back.  It looks a little rough here...  but I'll finish stitching and iron it again before I wrap it up!


If you remember, I made a table runner for my nephew that got married in October and Robb dubbed it Sam's Quilt because it was really long and skinny.  His wife now calls it that!


The table runner for Abby is much smaller and should fit any table nicely without draping over the ends.  I'm sewing the edge binding on by hand because I kind of suck at machine sewing it on and can make the stitches hide if I do it by hand.  And since it's reversible, I don't want it to show on either side.

I hope she and her husband likes it!

I did some sewing this week-end too. Too bad I didn't take pictures of it: a curtain for my classroom window by the door. WE now have to cover it when we are in lock-in/crisis mode :o/

My grandmothers always made me hand sewn gifts and I miss that so much! Nothing like it! Your recipients will always remember that you made it.

The madras is such a great idea for a table-runner! The floral is very pretty, too.
