Today's finish
« on: April 01, 2021, 10:25:29 AM »
I finished up this colourful table runner this morning. The middle squares are from a fabric panel that I really had to fight with to get it reasonably straight enough to use. Pins, starch, steam, pulling/teasing the fabric with my fingers, redoing some seams.... I got there in the end.  :faints:

Minimal stitch in the ditch quilting done around the squares.

Now I just need to wait until we can finally have house guests for dinner again before I use it.

I'm Nikki and I am usually sewing happily on a Janome 9450QCP with a Janome 6260QC as a backup/sewing class machine. I also like to knit and crochet.

This is why I don't do that stuff, so precise and methodical.

I wouldn't mind it on my table though @Twiggy it is lovely.

I love that fabric - even though you say it was a fight to get the squares straight.

Lovely combination of border colours.
Life's too short for ironing.
