   Woo hoo!! I’ve got my sewing machine in working order again after a bit of a snafu last week, so I’m ready to piece my table runner and finish piecing my tree pants!!!

   I really like these…..I don’t have a way to ‘quilt’…..but I suppose the top one isn’t really ‘quilted’ with a fancy stitch, so I could probably do something like that on my machine…? I really need to get to work on my Christmas gift projects!!
