Design Wall Monday

The month was October, the year was 2005, when

I saw a finished sample of this Christmas table runner hanging

outside of the quilt shop advertising a sewing class to

make one for yourself.

I went in and signed up and here is the table runner

I made.....crooked, missed points, mistakes and all.!!

I decided to dig it out last week and try to get

it finished. I am going to leave it with

all the imperfections and enjoy it the way it turned out.

I bought some green to back it with and at the class she

gave us some of the red for the binding.

I am so glad I took that class, it was

fun and it got me hooked on quilting!!

Remember those black and white Buck a Blocks I

posted last Monday? Here is a pic of a few of

them in the quilt on display at the shop. I think

when I finish my blocks I am going to put

white on the outside of the red star points to

make it less busy looking.
