Fast Forward

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone! I've been busy with my internship, with Oliver the kitten (and his big sister, Kate the hound), with family gatherings -- and with crafting!

My mom picked out a set of fat quarters she liked when I was visiting her in Missouri in late August, and I managed to finish this table runner and send it to her just in time for Thanksgiving:

She requested matching napkins, but I haven't gotten those done just yet. My goal is to send them to her by next Thanksgiving!

I've also finished 1 of my 5 quilts (you know, the ones that were supposed to be done by Christmas...). It was a birthday present for my mother-in-law last month. She loves Christmas decorations, so a Christmas throw seemed like a no-brainer. I really love this quilt -- it was hard for me to give it away! Here's the front:

And the back, a lovely dark green-and-red plaid:

I had some assistance from Oliver with the quilting. He's a good little helper!

I'm hard at work on quilt #2 (of 5! Did I mention there are 5 of them?!?), with more finished projects to come, I hope!
