Karl and I often sleep late into the year with the window open. The cool/cold/freezing air helps us sleep better and we don’t get up in the morning all stuffed up. As the window is at our feet out toes get cold even with flannel sheets and a flannel quilt on the bed. (When January rolls around we do put a blanket underneath the quilt.)
I decided to design a bed scarf/runner……..call it what you will. This is one of the seven designs I came up with…….

After a few attempts I finally decided this was the one.



I wanted that centre seam to be pressed flat. The rest was just straight sewing.
I had it all finished, all sandwiched and decided to do cross-hatching. Wellllll, that didn’t work…..it did but I didn’t like it. I had to unpick three rows of stitching. Then I didn’t want to work on it.
I thought how stupid was that and set to work re-sandwiching and decided to just do some meandering over the whole top.

It wasn’t easy to quilt. I don’t have a “roller” for my machine so I have to do that manually. I opted to do one half and then the other. It worked out very well.
I had help with the binding…….

I figure I will find her underneath it on the bed one day.
