Objects of Desire Tablerunner #2

The 2nd Objects of Desire tablerunner is actually the third one I've made, but 2nd right now. I made one several months ago, like back in August, but I didn't finish these other 2, so they were in my UFO stack. Tonight I was able to practice quilting on this one. I tried 2 new patterns for flowers. I'm not sure which one I like better, but I think I'm ready to quilt the Wildflowers tablerunner I also got the binding on this tablerunner, so a second finish for March!

This is my Pajama Quilter version of a flower. It's not half and actually pretty easy to do. One of my goals with my new machine is to step outside the box and try some new quilting techniques and so far I've jumped in head first.

Here's a close up of the daisy on the left and the wonky flower on the right. Which one do you like better? I guess we'll see what I come up with tomorrow when I quilt the next tablerunner.

Quilty Birthday Presents

I had a very quilty birthday! My MIL and hubby got me the DVD's MammaMia, Nights and Rodanthe, and The Holiday. Lots of quilting will be done as I "watch" my new DVD's.
I received the new Jennifer Chiaverini book Quilters Kitchen from both my mom and Paul... -I asked everyone for it. I really wanted it! I can't wait to read it. I took one back and picked up two Debbie Macomber books, so I have a lot of reading to do.
She also got me the Pajama Quilter Reloaded Companion Workbook. I've had the DVD since before I even got my frame, but I really wanted the workbook and I'm so looking forward to being able to see the designs.
My parents also gave me the new Olfa Quick Change 60mm rotary cutter. I've had the 45 for a year or so now and really love it, but I really like the 60 better, so she got it along with 5 new blades for me. I'll be cutting up a storm now. My mom got me the quilting stuff that no one else buys for me.
Birthday present
My dad asked mom what they were giving me for my birthday and she told him. He just didn't get it, but he said well if that's what she wants. It is! I'm so excited with all my gifts.
