Took the Week

It took the week to get the binding sewn to the back of the table runner. My grandson will not let me do any kind of handwork while he plays. He wants to be right up in my lap when I start to work on a project. I usually work on hand sewing projects at night now. 
 I have this wavy stitch on my sewing machine. I did not make it evenly spaced on purpose because I wanted it to represent water/waves of the ocean.
This will be for my daughter for her birthday this month. This was a pattern by Sherri of A Quilting Life.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    There are so many blessings with keeping a grandchild Carrie that I know you know already - but it's nice when you can steal a few moments to do a little stitching. blessings, marlene

    When my boys were little, as SOON as I got them in bed, I'd pull out the sewing - it was pointless to do it before. Sigh. Carrie, you did a beautiful job on this runner. I love the wavy quilting, I have that stitch too. Well done, now take a nap girl!

    My grandson is 4 and I have little opps for sewing while he is here. One is when he watches Daniel Tiger for a 1/2 hr, and the other when he naps. Otherwise quilting is out. They grow up so fast! Love your table runner and your quilting of it.

    Beautiful and I like the wavy stitching. My grandsons all seemed to need interaction more than the girls. The girls were much more independent.

    Your table runner turned out so nice. I remember the days when my grandson had to be on my lap at all times. Good memories. Hugs

    How pretty, Carrie! The wavy stitch is perfect! I think maybe Damien wants to learn to quilt with Grandma?
    Cheers!

    I like the classic blue and white that you used. Nice choice on the wavy stitch!! I'm sure it's such a blessing for your family that you watch your grandson. Our three guys are grown now, but I have such good memories of when they wanted to climb in my lap and read a book :-)

    I love your quilting... it adds so much interest. I don't use that stitch enough. Give your grand a hug from me - I miss a little person to squeeze!
