In Stitches (not the quilting kind either)

 Did everyone have a good weekend?
Well I sure didn't!
Friday,which is usually the best day of the work week,Sucked!
I Tripped over an empty pallet at work,and slammed my head into a metal
plant rack.  Which resulted in a trip to the ER and 8 Stitches in my head,to
close up the gash,and to top it off they also gave me a Tetanus Shot.

I also skinned up the knuckles on my left hand pretty bad,and received a
nice ugly purple bruise on my right knee.

Yep,A Sucky Day for sure!
Well enough about that!

 Look at these Awesome Goodies that Mr. P brought me from
the mail box today :)
(the Bright Spot) in my weekend!
All these goodies came from my partner in the SewHappyGeek Table Runner/Wall Hanging Swap

                                          Here is a close-up of the beautiful Table Runner/Mat that my
                                          partner made for little ole me!  We had to put our 3 favorite colors
                                          in the swap questionnaire.  My favorite color is Green,so I picked 2
                                         other colors that I thought would look nice with it.

                                       She did such an awesome job!  I really Love it :+)  Doesn't it look
                                       nice with my Lucky Bamboo sitting on it?  I think so too!
                                            
                       Also included in the package were,all the left over fabric from making the mat,a candy
                     bar (which Mr.P promptly claimed!),and 4 different fat quarters too!

                      I feel very Lucky to have received all this wonderful quilty goodness :)
                     So,even tho I had a Crappy Weekend,and didn't get anything accomplished sewing wise,
                    there was one bright spot!
                                   

2 Table Runners/2 Finishes!

Up first is the Table Runner that I have been posting about
for the online swap over at SewHappyGeek
It did not turn out to be the masterpiece that I had hoped for.
However over all I am fairly happy with it.
Just hope that my partner feels the same way!

 

 

This one is for a swap that the quilt guild I belong to is hosting.
I started out to make a Lil Twister Table Runner and then added
my own twist ;)  I am liking how this one turned out,hope she
(my partner) does too!

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

Table Runner progress (finally)

This evening I finally made some real progress on my Table
Runner for the swap I joined over at SewHappyGeek blog.

Yay!  I only hope that my partner is liking what I am making
for her!  She has been kind of quiet.  The photo is not great as
it was dark and I had to take it in my sewing room on the floor.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.  This is my favorite block
in the runner.  Although now I am thinking that I probably
should have added one more block,hope it isn't too short!

In other news,Gil called me tonight to let me know that he had
received his 2 packages.  Wow!  That was fast :+)  He is very stoked,
to put it in his words.  He said I am all cozyed up in my  blanket mom!
I wont freeze tonight  :+)
