An actual Finished Project!

 A L.O.N.G. time ago, we picked out fabric and started this little table runner for friends of ours.  My Beloved actually picked it out.  :)

Then I quilted it some... and then I took it all out! 

And it's been sitting in a pile (literally) of unfinished projects in my bedroom. 

I console myself with the reminder that my main problem with the last attempt was that I was using a (unknown to me) broken machine.  Now, with my pricey new machine I tackled it again with dreams of making it a Christmas present!

 

Then I quilted it again.   

Not too bad, but again... there are only pictures because of this brave lady (she's doing a giveaway right now by the way... just sayin')!  It's choppier than it was in my dreams.  But I know that comes with practice.  And since this is my first attempt with a working machine (it was so nice!!!) I'm ok with it.  I just hope our friends are.  

 

And here is the back.  It really shows the novice in me.  But I'm just pretending I'm 5 years old.  It makes me feel better!
