A finish!

Since I work on several projects at one time, it seems to take a long time to get a finish.  But here is my Scrappy Star table runner all finished.  Handpieced, hand quilted and getting ready to be well used.  I have trouble with finishing my own UFOs but I did get this one finished, which belonged to Holly and came to me partially sewn. Holly knew she just wouldn't get it finished so she decided to gift it to someone who would and had a giveaway on her blog.  Great idea.  I won!   I finished the handpiecing of all the sweet little diamonds and then handquilted, 1/4" inside, all the light diamonds that surround the stars.  And of course, handstitched the binding to the back.  What a fun little project.  It now adorns my kitchen table and I love it so much.  I should have made it a bit longer, but that's OK.  It fits nicely on my coffee table in the family room too and looks just as lovely.
Thanks so much Holly.  Your giveaway was the best!

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network. Stop by and see what everyone is doing.

    It looks great on your table. Very nicely done, maybe it's a good thing you can get hand stitching done with your machine gone.
