A social day........

I finally finished knitting this scarf while watching the last episodes of "the Mentalist" last night.  My daughter sent me the corn and cotton blend yarn for Christmas.  I still need to block it and right now it is about 66" long.  I haven't blocked any knitting for years so I don't remember if it will lose length when the width gets pulled into shape.  

My 2 friends came over to sew yesterday and while not talking and laughing (lots of laughing) I pieced the backing for my blue batik 16 patch quilt and got it loaded on the longarm.  Maybe I'll actually have a finish this month.

A couple nights ago I quilted this table runner with 12wt. variegated thread.  It isn't quite as wonky in shape as it looks here.  The photographer (me) was not holding the camera straight over it.  I have to choose binding now and I'm thinking probably red or orange and dotted since all of the fabrics have dots.
