A while ago, like three or four years ago, I gave my friend Becky an inexpensive Singer sewing machine when she needed one to take to classes. I think I had originally given the machine to one of my daughters, but, after trying it out, she declared herself not a sewer.
Although I didn't expect anything in return, Becky gave me a cute little box filled with some fabric and several mini charm packs. It was the first time I'd seen mini charm packs, which are 2 1/2" squares, so I sat down and sewed them together. (Since that time, I've learned that they make really sweet sashings.) I actually quilted and bound a set of twenty to make a hot pad holder but that was no fun so I didn't finish more.
Yesterday I noticed the remaining three pieced rectangles and decided to put them together to make a table runner. I don't know when I last actually put on binding and finished a project. As you know, it's been a dry spell for me.
I even tried free motion in the sashing, that long blue piece, which was a good experiment. To be repeated.
