This past week and the week coming up have are stressful and full of things to do. My guild's quilt show set up day this week is Friday the 30th and the show is Saturday the 31st and Sunday the 1st. I am the treasurer and prepare and handle all the finances for the show, so I have pretty much been running around like a crazy woman. However, I have managed to get into the sewing room. It is a place that I am able to decompress, when life gets out of control.
I got my fall runner back from the quilter this past week and managed to get the binding on it. My quilter is wonderful, all I did was give it to her and say maybe leaves would be nice. Her quilting was just perfect for it.
I spent some time fussing with my Christmas fabric stash. There were lots of bits and pieces and I was able to put together these 10" blocks and make an easy child's quilt for my charity group. We do the distribution of quilts to local agencies every October so a Christmas quilt fits right in.I had some left overs after making the quilt and tossed together this little runner. The fabric was just too cute to not do something with the last bits and pieces.

So glad you got to do some sanity stitching. Hope the guild show goes smoothly. The quilting on the table runner is perfect. Hope you still have time and energy to stitch a bit this week.

I find my peace when I'm stitching too, so I'm very glad you took the time to sew when you were feeling busy and stressed. That runner is so pretty! But of course you know I love batiks. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I always say that quilting can be a respite in times of stress. Godd on you to be able to get a few things done that will also reduce stress when the calls come in for quilts in the future. Have a great quilt show!

ReplyDeleteI hope your show went well and that you can breathe a sigh of relief and satisfaction. I'm glad you could find some time to quilt. It is the best sanity saver. (And what a perfect custom quilt design for your pretty runner!)
ReplyDeleteYour runner is so pretty and your quilter did a great job. Cute kids quilt. I’m the treasurer for our Guild so I know the stress you’ve been under. Hope the show ent well and you had a good turnout/made money. I have a little wall hanging I made: it says “Quilt More, Worry Less”. I think we all should have one. Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday. Hope you’ve managed to calm down after the fact this week 😁
