I was feeling down because I had been sick and had not felt good enough to be creative in a few months. I was looking through a bag of papers and other stuff from Quilt Market in May and I came across this wonderful Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric that I had bought. At first I could not figure out what to do with it, I wanted to make something for my Mom, but was stumped. I even considered making a doll and I really don’t like dolls.
Then it hit me! Face one panel either way and call it a table runner. So I took the fabric that I got and combined it with some solid strips from Robert Kaufman and made a delightful runner. I even stitched on a four milagros for good luck. It was super easy and I got it done in an afternoon.
It is such fun when inspiration hits and you take off running. And the best part was that after making it I felt even better. I got to get creating again, and that put a big smile on my face.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best.
I am glad you are feeling better. I think the heat this summer hasn’t helped much.

Hello Amy,
Oh I do hope you are feeling better. The table runner is beautiful. Sometimes with unusual material it is hard to make the decisions of how to use it. I am sure your Mum loves it.
Happy days.
