Last week I treated myself to a little getaway with my sister. We took a class at Cherished Pieces to make bargello table runners.
Here is my sister working on her project. She brought strips from home in blues and browns to match her home decor. I think it's looking great!
Here is my pieced runner on the design wall beside the Evergreen mystery that I posted about last week.
You'd think it's Christmas time around here with all these festive projects on the go. But nothing is actually finished, so I must get motivated to do some quilting and finishing.
On the way home from the class, we saw a gorgeous field of sunflowers and I couldn't resist stopping for a photo. This whole day made me ridiculously happy - sister time, a quilting class, and sunflowers - what could be better?!?

nice projects and lovely photo of you and your sister...
Sounds like a wonderful day! You have lots of time before Christmas to get your festive projects finished!
Your Christmas table runner is very pretty! It's so nice to have seasonal things ready to be used when that season comes around, happy stitching!
Great projects, and lovely photo of you and your sister.
Both of the bargello runners are looking great! I have only done one, but it was fun to see the design emerge.
family resemblance for sure. Great to have sister time and neat projects
Some wonderful sister time! Good for you! Love those Bargello runners.
awe, you and your sis look so alike! I copied the evergreen patterns but haven't started. I like your color choices, and that runner fits right in with the tree block.

What a fun time you had with your sister. I think I would have known she was your sister even if I had seen her somewhere besides on your blog. :)
Love the bargello table runner.
Oh, and I noticed Peggy's Cove on your sister's t-shirt. I will be going there in a couple of weeks. Have you been there? We are cruising out of Quebec, and that is one of our stops along the way to Boston.
Easy to see you two are sisters. Nice that you could attend the class together. I made a table runner similar to that one many years ago. It was put together quick-as-you-go style and self-bound using the backing fabric. I still use it, but had to replace the binding last year because it had faded.

What could be better indeed! A lovely sister, a d a great day stiching together. You've made a great start on your Christmas things.
Oh how lovely to share this hobby with your sister. It sounds like the most amazing day and lots of cute projects in the works.
How fun to spend the day with your sister making quilts. Love the photo with the sunflowers!
So fun to see Christmas projects already. I found the best place to buy Featherweight supplies and replacements is the Singer Featherweight shop. https://singer-featherweight.com/ A replacement cord is only $15.95USD and is really easy to change out your foot controller with it.
You and your sister look very much alike. Sweet! Yes, get that wiring checked. You don't want to 'spark' something.
