Remember at the beginning of the year I posted this picture? It was meant to be part of a scrappy backing but I changed my mind on that, so now that this was made I decided to turn it into a table runner instead and I trimmed the sides so each was the same width. …
A friend/customer brought a T shirt quilt for me to long arm quilt AND embroider! It was a quilt she was making for her friend and her friend came too. She left a big part of sashing on two place and I embroidered all the names in the family, she was a grandmother, and then …
