WIP Wednesday 10.3.12 Week 40

This was a big week for us! We on a whim Saturday night moved my sewing room out of its current location downstairs and moved the frame up to the kids room. In the process I set up a temp sewing space in the kids room until we get the flooring finished and worked on my Briar Rose quilt. I had completely screwed up the last step, so Monday I ripped out all the corner pieces, re-cut the edge pieces, and re-sewed them all. It took me all of Monday, but I got all the edging pieces done. Last night I sewed the X blocks together and then put the pieces on my design wall to see how it would look. I just have my artist canvas design wall, so no edging pieces yet. I think I'm going to love it. I haven't ripped or re-sewn that much in years, but it had to be done.

Thursday night I pulled out this Bargello table runner mom had made. I squared it up, which is this picture. Friday night, I added snowflakes and binding and while I was waiting for the teachers preview party Sat. morning, I sewed the binding down on the runner. It is now done, unless I decide to stitch over the snowflakes.

I got quite a few finishes done, just because I spent a lot of time hand sewing. I put the binding on the Mocha Meringue quilt and worked on the Blush binding. I have 1 side of the Blush quilt yet to finish the handwork on.

Love the Bargello! I have only done it on a needlework project, never quilting. I think I need to consider it!! Yours look gorgeous!

The bargello runner is simply gorgeous! I have a bargello kit sitting in my sewing room closet that I've been afraid to start. Maybe I need to get it out.
