Mom bought me this mirror and a bunch of other things for my birthday. My birthday isn't until Wednesday but she already gave them to me. This is for my main bathroom! She also got me the bronze trash can, toothbrush holder, soap dish, soap dispenser, and shower hooks. I didn't get a photo of that stuff because I boxed it up and took it out to the new house. I'm afraid this mirror will get broke if I take it out there now. 
Seems like I haven't been getting a lot done as far as quilting. Just seems like nothing holds my interest right now long enough for me to finish it. So I decided to work on something small. I ordered a few kits from Connecting Threads a few weeks ago and this table runner was one of them. I still need to do the machine applique around those pieces. I think this is called "Around the Bend" 
I really like how it has turned out so far. I have never done binding on anything like this but I'm sure I can figure it out once I get to that part. LOL! 
Hopefully, I can get it quilted soon. Right now I have this customer quilt on the frame. 
I did another one a few weeks ago for the same lady that was almost exactly the same. I am quilting it with music notes. She did a great job on the piecing, it lays nice and flat. It does feel good to get something done as far as quilting. I think one of my problems right now is lack of concentration. I have a lot on my mind right now with the house and all. I have also started packing up some of my quilting stuff, mostly things that I know that I will not need for a few months and now everything is a big mess.

WOW!! That will be such a nice quilting room. I don't think any room in my house measures that. LOL!!!!
What an awesome mirror that is too!
Of course you already know I love all your projects and that runner is no exception.

I know are really looking forward to getting into that huge sewing "palace"...can't blame you.
The table runner is so unusual...wish I was that talented.
Your quilting studio is going to be fantastic!
Love the new table runner.♥
Holy cow! Look at the size of that room! And the window! All that natural light will be fantastic. I am drooling (and at my age, that is not a pretty sight!)
That is going to be a beautiful room Kristie!! Really really nice!
Kristie, that nice big room will be great for you. I miss our old house with big rooms. My recently gifted Nolting 24 is set up in our garage but we will set it up in our 12 X 24' storage building after we clean it out.
oh your new house is looking more and more finished!!!
I LOVE that table runner!!!
I am drooling on my keyboard over that sewing room, what a treat it will be to be in there creating wonderful quilts! Thanks for sharing the house progress. Carline

You'll love the size of that room. Mine is that size and I love it..and it's FULL!
I want to see the "around the bend" pattern. I have an old quilt on my wall that's the same pattern, but it's pieced and not appliqued.
Your quilting room will be so nice, you will feel good in there!
