Design Wall Monday

Oh look...another tablerunner :) I actually finished the sunflower runner and a blue striped runner last week but forgot to take pictures - maybe later this week...

This is yet another runner that I started last fall and it got set aside when there was no chance of getting it done for the Bazaar. I've added the brown inner border and now I am laying out the outer border to make sure the colors are balanced.

I prefer to stand on the other side of the room, remove my glasses and squint to make sure it looks balanced.

When that fails...take a picture in black and white! hmm...the black and white pix tells me the orange and green on the upper right need to be seperated...didn't notice that standing there this morning.

The colors are pretty bright and intense, even for me. Wait until you see the back and binding that I picked out.

Design Wall Monday

This is a Scrap Therapy pattern that I really enjoy. And when I am too lazy to dig out the pattern, I just put an already completed table runner up next to where the new one is being worked on. All this from a striped fabric and some scraps. I need to pick some fabric for the side borders (brown? green?) and then it will be done.I've decided to have a table at the Holiday Bazaar again this fall...but I'm starting NOW to get some things done early. Go me!

National Quilting Day

Tomorrow is NQD and I'm not even sure I'll have time to step into the studio :(

In the morning we have the second half of our ice rescue training...it seems the lake will still be in good shape so we will be out on (unstable) ice in the 50-60 degree "heat" - spring fever has hit us all.

After training, I'll be babysitting my nephews. My SIL asked if I could sit at some point this weekend so they could go to the city (Rochester) to the educator sale at Borders. I offered to make it an afternoon and evening so they could use the movie tickets I gave them for Christmas. ok, so that means I can also watch tv when the boys are asleep!

Have a good day tomorrow!
