*smacking my hand on my head*
I guess I didn't even trusted myself with pictures in fear I would ruin the surprises.
Oh well. Remember the purple table runner I was working on here and here? Well, here is the almost done shot of it. It's quilted with big loopy-doopies (very technical quilt term) and I just hadn't added the binding yet. I went with scrappy purple binding and it sure was a hit come present opening time!!
And, yes, I failed a second time... remember that red and pink girly table runner I was working on and teased you with here?
Well, it turned out to be so darn beautiful -- one of my favorites!! I think I got away with only using 5 fat quarters in total for this project! I went with a more simple quilting diagonally through the diamonds. The binding ended up being made from that darker red color (I think).
I can see making up a few more of these in different color schemes for other holidays!
I also finished the mug rugs I began to show you here. And nope, I'm a dork and didn't take a finished picture of these either. Total failure on my part x 3.
Maybe I should have called this post Invisible Finshed Quilted Gifts. Oh well. Just means I will have to grab a snap of these being used down the road.
And yes, my machine is humming again. Can't wait to show you what's cookin' now!

THey are beautiful!! Great job!!
My favorite is the pink and red table runner. Really pretty!
Btw, I made a Kite Quilt for my grandson and was so excited to see him open it (he loved it!) that I forgot to take pics of him WITH it. And I REALLY wanted to put them in a scrap book I'm keeping. DUH! Oh well, live and learn!
What we can see of your gifts are awesome so I'm sure they turned out great!
Wow - I am so impressed by (and jealous of) your sewing skills... beautiful :)

I'm exactly the same Christie - slave away on something then give it away and forget to photograph it! So I can sympathise :-( At least you have 'in progress' pictures. They look fantastic. Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas x
Beautiful work... Ya know, You could teach us little sewing exercises. Like very basic for some of us.
Forgot to say how happy I am about your new camera.
You are in good company! The biggest sewing project I undertook for Christmas - and I failed to take a photo of it too!!! (Luckily for me, my sister is driving back this way - so I will try to get a photo of it then!) I hope you do get a good shot of your finished products - I'd love to see them :)
These are really pretty! I really like the red and green one.
So cute! what great projects! Thanks for linking to Quiltstory!
