And, just like I promised, Here is the "Skinny" for our hallway.  I think that it is the PERFECT size to hang in our hallway.  It definitely is a great surprise to see from my front door.  Now I need a whole new collection of Skinnies?  This reminds me of fashion dilemmas right?  Don't they always pose a waterfall of problems??? YES!  Anyway ;)


The quilting on this runner wasn't anything spectacular but today's quilting did stand out for the one specific reason - I did not have one problem.!.  I managed to get my tension under control after a couple of months of struggling with it.  There is nothing like a little self-doubt and frustration to set you back a bit.  I have to admit that I was getting a little perturbed by the whole situation.  So thank goodness I had a good day today.


I didn't LOVE the background quilting in the Fall block but I think that I am just a little out of practice for creative backgrounding.  I can do the simple stuff no problem but I have regressed a little bit in the creative smooth part.  I was aiming for leaves blowing in the wind.  I am going to make a point to get some of that creative smooth back.  I haven't had the time to put into long-arming as I would have liked.  It is because of all the misc sewing I have been doing lately.  On the positive side - at least I have the other kind of back grounding down.


Also, I was able to get another thing checked off my list today as well.  I made another Sweet Diaper Bag (available in my Pattern shop tab #2) to take to Quilt Market with me for my exhibit.  I love this vinyl and my roll is seriously depleted. There isn't much more I can make from it :(


I got my label on the inner pocket.



All of the inner pockets turned out so nice.  This bag was very enjoyable to sew this time.  Even the changing pad was a snap.

One of my favorite parts of this bag is still the gathered top.




Next thing to tackle is booth decorations!!! EEEK :)
