A win and a little project

Last week I was the lucky winner of a guessing competition on Marg Low's blog. As promised this lovely little parcel arrived.....

And inside I found Marg's new pattern, hot off the press,

Grecian Times.

If you want a closer look at this pattern or any other of Marg's lovely designs check out Marg Low Designs.

Thank you very much Marg.

Two weeks ago the girls and I went on a shopping trip to Somerset Patchwork and Quilting. It was sale time so I responded accordingly.

Amongst other things, I brought home these gorgeous reds and shirtings

and proceeded to make a little table runner in honour of Valentine's Day. You must know by now that I am often late.

I was rushing this little project and have done several things incorrectly, but I will quilt it, use it, learn from it and enjoy it.

(Struggled with the photography on this one. The fabrics in the photo are more accurate in colour than in the table runner photo).

I am going to use this little table runner as my "1 item a month" Xmas project. It's stretching the rules a bit but February was too busy to make anything else.
