I found the perfect backing for my snowmen table runners. It is 108" wide, at Jo Anns and I had a 50% off coupon, I bought 90 inches of it. For these runners I cut the wide backing down to 45"x108" and pinned the 45" sides to the long arm. Earlier in the week I cut and pieced 6 table runners in three different styles. And then I became a quilting machine. All 6 were quilted in a day, that was a full day and I was tired at the end.
Next came the applique, better to applique a bunch with the same thread color and then change to the next color. But I was getting sick of applique and couldn't quite finish them all. So, I decided to just stop doing that and finish up three of them as I needed to replenish ones that sold in the shop. I know I keep talking about items selling, I am just thrilled to bits that people love my quilted items and keep coming back for more! Never, ever did I dream it could be like this. I mean I hoped I could sell some here and there but it's more than that. And I thank each and every one of you that has cheered me on!
