Table Runner

I've been wanting to get this up all day. I'm proud of this one. It's a free pattern from Quilt Bug  This one is called a table topper, I call it a table runner - tomato, tomato - wait, that doesn't work in typing. Anyway you know what I mean. She has some absolutely wonderful patterns. I'd forgotten.

This is for the bazaar again. The focus fabric I fussy cut for the middle is like a drapery or upholstery fabric but I love the design and it works really well for a focus. It has a neat texture. I have lots of fabric left so am going to make at least one more. I may switch the fabrics around, I'll see. 

I had one heck of a time with the binding. The first try didn't work at all. Then I tried sewing it down... major mistake. So I took it off and resewed it and instead of trying to do the quilt corner turn I took a small tuck. I only used the quilt corner turn idea on the ends. 

Also next time I think I'll quilt as I go. It would work well with this pattern and save time not having to stitch in the ditch to quilt it. 

It was a beautiful day again today but really too hot to be working outside so finishing this up was the perfect project. 

Then I went down to the store and picked up hamburger so when DH walked in the door all I had to do was hand it to him and say "Barbeque" and dinner took care of itself *LOL*

Oh, and by doing a search on the internet I think maybe what they were filming here was Fairly Odd Parents. I have no idea what that is cause it's on Nickelodeon, which we don't get in Canada. It must be an adult thing even though it's a cartoon. There was a lot of swearing in the video clips I found.
