Thanksgiving

The last week of September I had the sudden urge to make a table runner for my big kitchen table. I did some pulling out of my stash and started cutting strips.

After sewing them all up, I didn't really like the look of it, so I cut it up into three sections, did a bit of seam ripping and sewed it back up again.

And because my arm doesn't hurt enough, I decided to quilt it to death.

But I like it with all that quilting.  And now I have a table runner that colours my kitchen with fall.

And I like the back too.  But the boys in my house think it's too yellow.

We are experiencing an autumn like no other.  Glorious sunshine, no rain, warm temperatures.  Quite unbelievable, really.

This photo was taken on Thursday out at the Vedder River.  It was like August!

And a bonus photo.  Gord and Benjamin went hiking in Manning Park today to see the larch trees in all their glory.

One more thing...  Are you participating in Kid's Clothes Week Challenge at Elsie Marley?  The idea is to sew an hour per day for the full week on clothes for your kids.  I plan on sewing but my week will be cut a bit short.  I don't sew on Sundays usually and Monday is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada.  But after that, I sure hope to get an hour per day in!  I have some plans...

Have a good Sunday and, if you are Canadian, a good Thanksgiving Monday!
