A Bit of This and a Bit of That
Today's post is a mish mash of various things I have been fiddling with lately. I did get my Base Camp blocks together for this fun fall table runner. I do think I need to add a narrow border of the background all around to make it look more finished. No problem, if I can…

I’m Ba-ack, But Not In the Saddle

Let’s Pop Some Corn is Finished!
I am so excited to have finished this little table runner. I'd give the pattern a grade of C-, but with the help of my internet friend Carol, I zipped through it with no frustration. Her time-saving tips were priceless. This is going to be so darn cute on my dining table. I did shorten…
