Can not sleep, what do you do?

I have had many things on my mind.  The Quilting and Knitting in my life helps me keep calm and at rest.  Does it for you?  I can not thank God enough for letting me have these interests.  It is 2:00am, can not sleep but I am working on many fun things that makes my head spin and my heart filled with happiness.  I know this a passion many enjoy.  Why?  The world is getting faster, the technology is changing quickly and life is flying by.  We need joy, we need happiness.  

I am working on a table runner right now.  It is from a local quilt shop. Quilted Memories.   Actually it is a 20 mile drive from my house, in the same county but at the opposite end.  Yes, a 40 mile round trip.  When the weather is bad as it is here in Michigan during the winter months I usually do not drive.  The roads are icy, no fun. These last few days it has been different, maybe I will head that way later today..

You will see in the above photo how I had to piece a certain fabric together to complete the project.  The whole project was going along fine until I discovered I cut it wrong.  It was a kit, I know Quilted Memories cuts are good and everything Jill does is excellent.  I was fussy and cut to much off to straighten the fabric to cut into strips, that in turn made things a itzy bitzy short.  Can you see how I pieced the to corners above.  OK, you can not see unless you know.  I know.

I am looking forward to putting on the batting, backing and binding.  I am going to do it today.  Did I say I started this a year ago...yes a year ago.  I was so fed up with the mistake, I put it into a project box and did not want to see it again.  Maybe, now in the light of day, we can enjoy a Christmas Looking table.
