WIP 18/12/13

Oh my where did the last week go! I didn't get anywhere near what I wanted to get done done..what else is new, right...lol! 

Mr. P got sent last minute to Pella, Iowa for training so we crammed in as much Christmas shopping/getting nursery ready and other honey-do list things in as we could. Really who gives a guy a week notice that he has to leave the county for a week one week before Christmas with a pregnant wife at home.

I am also still in a lot of pain which makes not having Mr.P at home difficult. I can't lift my legs so getting dressed is a challenge...lol I see my Dr today so hopefully he can offer some insights into the pain I have been having. 

Okay I got off topis....LOL I did get one step closer to being finished with the baby quilt. I sewed all the rows together and squared it up. That resulted in a few 4 patches getting a little smaller, but it did help to make the quilt look A LOT less wonky. Last night I sewed on the borders and guess what.....after all my bellyaching I must say it didn't turn out too bad. Yes there are mistakes a plenty, but I can live with them. Thank you for all the support you have given me during this process, its been a challenge and a half!

Okay I should have smoothed it out more before I took the pic, but bending over with this belly isn't worth it..lol It's not quite as puckered in real life

I also started on my table runner. I know I am cutting it close, but I want to try and get it done. I am making a wonky star table runner. There is a great tutorial over at http://cathy-blueberrypatch.blogspot.ca/2013/11/wonky-wony-little-star-table-runner.html

I  have my my star colours picked.


But I cannot decided if I want to go with a golden fabric for the background


Or white?
