March means getting some spring table runners out and changing out some of the wall hangings to Springier items too. Not so spring like in our neck of the woods. Our area has been in a severe drought situations for a number of years. Well, this year we are getting plenty of rain and very cool weather too. While some might think that 17 inches since October isn't much to be thrilled about, it surely is better than the 3 inches we have gotten over the last few years.
I started looking for some spring table runners and decided there wasn't much very interesting to set out on the table. Time to make something and get it finished up quickly. I had used this particular pattern before so got busy and hopefully will have it done this coming week. And I do plan to try out my skills with FMQ. I have been working on it and not perfect yet, but getting better. I originally made it in this smaller size in more fall colors. This one was hand appliquéd. No time for that so the new one is machine appliquéd with a blanket stitch. Our little pup Zoey was 2 years old on the 7th. Her birthday gift was that huge bone. She loves them, and yes a pretty large treat for a little 8 pound dog. She will probably have it gone within a week and we do limit her to just an hour each evening. There are some pretty good choppers in that little mouth.
Ooooh, this runner sounds like it's Spring indeed! Lovely and sweet colors. Appliquéing it by machine sure will be faster. Happy birthday Zoey, this bone looks like candy ;))

Your Spring table runners are beautiful. Happy Birthday Zoey!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty spring table runner and love it in the fall colors too. Changing out the quilts and decor certainly can bring in the feeling of spring until warmer /spring like weather arrives. I am glad to hear that you have received some much needed rain . Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYes! I hear you! Seventeen inches of rain sounds wonderful! Feel free to send some my way! :) Your Spring table runner is lovely! Happy Birthday, Zoey!
ReplyDeleteNice table runner - perfect spring colors - and your pup is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Spring in your country, we are welcoming Autumn down here in the Southern Hemisphere. Happy Birthday to little Zoey!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty table runner in the works. Love those spring colors you picked.
ReplyDeleteYou have some lovely spring flowers. Our dog loves those large bones too. She is a lab and can consume one of those things in an afternoon! We don't buy them often, but they are, indeed, a very special treat.
ReplyDeleteAdorable spring runner! I have a couple of Easter runners, but haven't put them out yet. I've been gone so much lately that it just hasn't happened.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Spring table runner you've got in the works!!
ReplyDeleteYou're most talented and Zoey is very cute.

ReplyDeleteHello Donnalee, that's going to be a lovely spring runner - and good for you for doing some FMQ. It looks like the perfect project to practice on! Happy birthday to Zoey - that is a huge bone :-) Thanks so much for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks. Looking forward to seeing your FMQ
ReplyDeletepretty table runners,waiting for Spring is like waiting for Christmas lol
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Zoey! My goodness, my cat weighs more than you at 9#! Haha!. Great job on your table runner so far. I'm sure it'll finish beautifully with your quilting.
ReplyDeleteThose spring runners are pretty! What kind of bone is that? Ours would devour it too. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI love that beautiful spring table runner Donnalee! And happy birthday to Zoey! She's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Donnalee, what a gorgeous runner. I love the spring colours! I hope that Zoey had a great birthday. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteI like both table runners. I'm not sure where you live, but I used to live where 6" was a windfall of rain in a year, so I understand be excited about 17"! In TN, we might get 17" in 2 months (maybe in one some years!) but it never gets old to a desert rat! Your dog is cute as anything.
