Road Trip Tablerunner

Sometimes I think I might have a little faulty wiring.  

Whenever we have a vacation planned, there are a couple of essential components to the planning process for me:  look up any quilt shops or shows that are nearby or on the route, and figure out the project that I'll be working on during the trip.

Really?  

why can't I just vacation without taking along a project?

Here's the answer:

I'm a quilter, we are not wired that way.  To those who might be in the train, plane or automobile with me:  get over it.

So we have a little roadtrip coming up, and I naturally needed a little project.  Goodness, I'm inconvienently between appliques, so I better come up with something.

So the last two nights, I've stayed up late and prepped this:

 
It's nice to be able to pull so easily from the stash for a little project.  This one is from Kim Diehl's book:  Simple Graces.  This is one of those yummy "love to make everything in it" books.  So if you don't have it....git it!

Oh, now that I have this squared away, maybe I should make hotel reservations...

Hugs and Stitches!

I understand this completely! How can you have fun and relax on a vacation if you don't have any sewing? I love this project you've started - I have the pattern in a back issue of AP&Q and have looked longingly at it many times. I'll make it too - one day...
Enjoy the shops and shows you find! Isn't it fun to be appliqueing something new? :0)

You forgot to mention where you're going.

Beautiful, and yes, we have to have a project to work on at all times, including when traveling!

Hi
I always plan my projects first, then lay out everything I'm going to read, then I take 10 minutes and throw some clothes in. :)
Can't wait to see the finished runner.
