At the Cabin

We were at the cabin this week-end.  It was Field Day for Amateur Radio this week-end and YKW spent the last 2 days on the air.  He was very successful making over 100 contacts with other Radio Amateurs.  


While he did that I sewed.  I use my old sewing machine as we operate on a generator.  No hydro there.

A little grainy since I was using an Ipod Touch.

Making a new Table Runner.

I was able to finish it, now I have to

quilt it and bind it.

This pattern is from

The Art of The Quilt and is called

Pat's Favorite Table Runner.

I received this pattern as a gift last summer and this is the second table runner that I have made from this pattern.  It is a real easy pattern to make and goes together very quickly.

I already made some placemats with the same fabric,

but with a bit of a twist.

I put gold in the corners to bring out

the colours of the pansies.

I got this pattern off the Internet at The Secret Workshop.

It is called Seeing Squares Place Mat.

There are lots of really nice free patterns on this site.

Now I am wondering if I should do the binding on the table runner in the gold to co-ordinate it with the

 place mats or to do it in blue like the pattern says I should.

I will have to decide soon as I will start quilting it tomorrow.
