Which I did the hand sewing of the binding on during bee yesterday!!  I didn’t put a label on it, as I might want to use it on the reverse side as I love the old garden print I used from my stash!

  1. Beautiful granny squares, Polly! I'm sure they will make a gorgeous quilt. The runner looks great!
    I'm hoping to work on a little quilt for my 1-year old. Hopefully, she'll take a long nap tomorrow!

  2. Love the squares and table runner Polly. I am working on a scrappy nine patch quilt top that will be for my oldest and the borders for my raggedy Ann quilt. It has been nice spending time in my sewing room.

  13. Love those blocks! I have not made them yet. At least, not quilting. I make them in yarn. And I am getting the itch to do them in a quilt!!! So pretty. I love the runner!!! And what a fabulous sewing room, indeed!!! Isn't it wonderful to be a part of a group of like minded women to share our craft?!!
    Hugs,
    Kris

  19. Our new home in Mn has a very small living room. One day we'll have to build a large famiy room on, its just too small for five growing kids. Perhaps then I can make it into my sewing room!! Until then, I'll be stuck with a corner again!
