Rainbow Scrappy Saturday but not so happy with some sad news.

The good news is that I finished my neutral table runner for one of my Rainbow Scrappy challenges.

412933_10151548191435080_750135079_23992249_927947721_o I did all by machine, except the mitred corners on the binding which I hand stitched down.  I was brave and did a stipple over the whole quilt and machined down the binding using a decorative stitch.   My DD took this photo with her ‘new’ camera.

I also made a little progress on my poncho CAL from Le Monde de Sucrette’s blog. 524419_10151537418325080_750135079_23948806_1004590564_nPictured here in my garden over a conifer.  It actually looks bigger than it is and more pink than it is.

The sad news is that one of my bunnies, Malachi, past away this past week.  He had become ill last weekend but did not recover :(   Here he is in a picture, taken a few years ago, with his misses Chichi.

    your table runner is a stunner. I am a bright fabrics person, but those neutral look wonderful in that combination.

  11. Ah, I'm so sorry about your bunny..I hope Chichi is doing ok and you are too.

    Your tablerunner is wonderful. I love the colors you used. I like your DP4 patches too. I didn't do any neutrals last month and I haven't done any yellows this month but need to get back on track for the rainbow challenge. Your quilting looks great on the runner too.
