Helpful Hint

Helpful Hint:  Store leftover strips from your projects on a peg rack.  This shelf hangs in my studio and I organize the strips by width.  They come in very handy when making scrap blocks like the center block on yesterday's table runner.  

I unfortunately am still having problems loading images to these posts and I'm lucky I got at least this one today.  Not to worry, it just gives me plenty to post on later, a little bit at a time:)

My next project was to finish the binding on a different table runner that I quilted yesterday but I realized I used all the fabric that I was supposed to use for the binding.  Not sure how that happened but I think there is still a bolt of it at my local quilt shop.  I'm definitely not headed there today, though.  It's lightly snowing, which isn't bad, but there are a few icy spots and I just don't like to deal with that if I don't have to.  So that gives me the green light to spend the rest of the day on a quilt that I am making for my brother-in-law.  He fell in love with a quilt he saw (that's a whole other post :) and I offered to make it if he bought the kit.   It's even more fun to play with fabric that I didn't have to pay for!
