How did your quilting go this past weekend? I didn’t get nearly the projects finished that I had planned. Sometimes life just gets in the way. I did manage to stay in all day Sunday and sew. I spent the first two hours of my day looking for a pattern. Ugh! I did find it but then couldn’t decide on which fabrics to use and gave up on that project. I did make a decision...finally, and decided it was time to finish this table runner. So, here it is, quilted and bound. This pattern is from Kim Schaefer’s Calendar Runners.
This pattern is designated for the month of March. This is a close-up of one of the red birds.
This is another block.
I love adding these flowers. This packet of 12 patterns also includes patterns/instructions for place mats and napkins. Today I also started work on the place mat for the month of December. What fun.

ON ANOTHER NOTE: I know some of us bought the Curve Master Foot at the recent AQS show in Grand Rapids. This pattern by the
Bitchy Stitcher should give that new foot lots of practice.
Until next time,

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!

That runner is adorable! I love the bright red birds and bright while flowers on the blues background. Lots of punch.
LOVE THE BIRDS!!!!! Oh that is too cute. Did you get the Curve Master foot? You'll love it so much once you get used to it. I used mine for a Drunkard's Path variation. No pinning!!!
Congratulations Caroll--so fresh and pretty, lots of stippling AND even got some pebbling done, brava! :o)
