It has been forever since I have been in blogland. Alot of changes in my life have been happening and things have calmed down and are back to normal, whatever that may be. I have been doing alot of piecing but little quilting and so I thought I would start quilting again with this wonderful table runner. My dear friend Angela pieced this for me in exchange of my quilting one of her quilts. She does such a wonderful job piecing and that makes this runner even more special!
I have had this Thimbleberries kit in my house for I don't know how many years and am so happy that it is finished. It will be on display in my kitchen through the Thanksgiving holiday and I will love having it there to enjoy!
A little bit of what has been happening is that last November I had quit my job and spent many months at home quilting and enjoying my life. Alas the hubby wasn't too happy about it so I have been hired on at Wal-Mart an hour away. The fun part about my new job is that I work in the fabric department! I have had alot of fun there, talking to quilters and also to the college kids that come and buy fabric to make Halloween costumes and such!! I am amazed at how many of them are ambitious enough to do it! I can honestly say that it is never boring! That's about it. Now to go and check out what everyone else has been doing!!!

Such a beautiful tablerunner. You can't beat Thimbleberries for their fall fabrics and patterns. I just got my Thimbleberries out also. I don't dare work around fabric, I did that once, spent almost as much as I made. Hugs
The runner is wonderful.
Ooh, hope you can resist buying too much fabric now ;)
What a lot of luck getting to work in the fabric dept. I bet the quilters are glad to see you whenever they need advice.
Beautiful quilting on that pretty table runner! So glad to hear things are settling down for you - and that you like your new job!
Good to see a post from you again.
I do not envy your one-hour commute to your job--regardless of how much fabric you get to fondle! I had a one hour commute for almost 7 years--then my school district transferred me 1/2 hour further! I really hope your commute is an easy one, despite the time involved!
It sounds like a fun job!!
Love the tablerunner!
What a sweet tablerunner. I like Thimbleberries and have several that need quilting. One is at the quilter's now and we are doing the same thing. I piece for her and she quilts for me. It works great for us too. I like the tablerunner and the quilting looks great too. I have always had a long drive to work. In Texas, everything is spread out...I either listen to a book or CD on the way to work so it makes the drive more bearable. I'm glad you are enjoying your job and I'm glad you are back to posting. Hugs!
