There is a slight problem with the table. When the leaves aren't it, it really doesn't like to stay closed. Just about every day, Karl grabs it and sets it back together. I think he finds it pretty annoying. He made a suggestion that perhaps we should have one long placemat that runs through the centre of the table. I agreed! Maybe its because one night I hit the edge of my glass of milk and it went everywhere! It completely missed my placemat and into the crack it went................down the side of the table too. I wish I'd had Misty that night. Clean up would have been a breeze.
I had bought a book awhile ago with placemats and table runners in it. It is called "Let's Do Lunch", by Atkinson Designs. I looked through it and decided to make "Fast Food", cause it looked easy. It was. I extended it another row which was easy to do.
I have it sandwiched and quilted and the binding is on. I selected a few fabrcis from a fat quarter bundle I bought from Connecting Threads and bought the binding at The Hobby Horse last week when I was up.
I did very simple quilting on it. Just picked the blocks I wanted to do and left it at that. It wasn't time consuming at all.Now its ready for the "binding box". I'll sew down the rest when we are on holiday. I like to have hand work for the evenings and along with embroidery this will do the trick.
For those of you that are doing the Bunny Hill ~~ Henrietta Whiskers BOM ~~ Block 5 is posted this morning.
