Getting it done – one piece at a time…

Table Runners
1/5/2015

Sorry to use the same picture but I’ve been working on binding the place mats and table runner.  I was able to get 4 place mats with the binding half attached then I ran out of fabric.  I’ll have to head over to the LQS (poor me!) to get some more… haha…  There is a sale on Saturday to clear out space on their shelves so I’m hoping the fabric I need is there and on sale.  If not, two of my place mats and the table runner will have different fabric for the binding than the other four.  Hopefully I’ll have a finish and be able to have some used yardage to report on Sunday.

In the meantime, I’m staring at my sewing table trying to figure out what to do… Resolution #2 for 2015 is to concentrate on one thing at a time.  Well, Scrapitude is the priority item right now and I’ve got everything cut and ready for Clue #1 scheduled to be posted on January 13.  Next is this table runner and place mat and we know where I am with that one.  So now what?  If I go back to my list, I guess it’s Tell It To The Stars.  But, and here is where I go down the rabbit hole, I don’t feel like working on Tell It To The Stars.  I’m going back and forth between that one and Flowers and Baskets. I’m almost done piecing the top for Tell It To The Stars.  I really only need to do the final clue which is piecing the borders together.  But that requires a whole lot of fabric and cutting and measuring and I don’t have that kind of time and space right now.  Flowers and Baskets is in the middle of being quilted.  All I need to do is switch my machine to FMQ mode and switch out the thread.  Both are things I really don’t feel like doing.  Part of me wants to just get Tell It to The Stars done with because that’s on my list next and another part of me wants to get Flowers and Baskets quilted because then all I will need to do is bind it.

What is on your WIP Wednesday?
