Some Slow Goings, Going On...

I'm not sure where this week went--it all seemed to go by so fast! I didn't do much sewing because of an enormous amount of time spent in my car (lots of shopping opportunities though). 
I'm keeping up with the Temecula Summer Sampler: these are the week 9 blocks.

And I used my teeny, tiny reject Lemoyne Stars to make a teeny, tiny table runner.
Hand quilted, no less! (painful too)
I haven't decided where it will reside--maybe on the sideboard in the dining room....

....or on the chest in the foyer.....

....or maybe on the little painted cabinet in the living room???
It only measures 5.5" by 19.5", so it will fit just about anywhere--even on top of the toilet tank (sorry, no photos of that!).

Today is our wedding anniversary (46 years--yikes!) and also my youngest son's birthday (41 years--double yikes!) After a family dinner out, I'll be doing some Slow Sunday Stitching by putting the final three rows on my Temecula InstaSewAlong doll quilt.

  7. I use a narrow runner on the ledge above my fireplace. It is not a fancy mantle so this helps decorate it a bit.

    I love the teeny runner, but I have to tell you that you vintage books caught my eye. I have a copy like that of the Alcott book. Love it!
