It's a good day

for singing a song... lol  I don't remember the rest of the words.

It was a pretty productive day today...  I finished the table runner top

 I'm quite pleased with how it turned out... I didn't have to 'fudge' too much to get the triangles cut and stitched onto the star blocks.. even managed to do it with the grain on the outer edge... added a green border to it because I plan on using the leftover fabric from the background and triangles for the backing and binding.  I hope the woman who gave the star blocks and backing fabric to me is equally as pleased as I am.  There's still one 'odd' block left... and I thought about making it into a hot pad, but the blocks are quite large and it might be too big - then again, maybe not.  We'll see... it's all packed up for now.  I want to take it to the library at the next sew in and pin sandwich it together so that I can quilt it on my domestic. (did I tell you this last night? )

The next project was a few weeks in waiting... it's my first Rare Bear... all the pieces are cut out ( 'cept the felt nose) and most pieces sewn together.. except the back... and then I need to sew the arms, legs & head on... but I want to do eyes and the nose before I sew the head to the body.  I used to make teddy bears but it's been awhile and getting back to it is proving to be a little more difficult than I remember.  I'm not sure whether I want to do anymore or not.

Ok, that's it for tonight... it's pouring down rain by the way :(   I have to be up early to take the car into the shop so they can replace the part they were supposed to do last week... then, it's Buddy's turn for grooming.  By afternoon, I should be able to get back to working on the Rare Bear... maybe get it in the mail Friday.

Take care
