Renata LOVE the table runner!!!
Rosemary, sounds like my kind of M&Ms haha....would be eating lots of them!
Lotti...I want to go there beautiful!!
I'm working on my Tree quilt for my DIL, and spent yesterday between dyeing and making leaves for the tree. She picked out all the fabric for it, and it is not all cotton, so had to leave the freezer paper on and glue the seam allowance to make it stay pressed. Really flying by the seat of my pants here

and making it up as I go....we'll see what I end up with

Luann and Nancy, you both mention that you use a walking foot on laminate - doesn't that leave marks? DD tried that and she said she had marks on the top side but she can't reduce the foot pressure on her machine so maybe that is why.

I've never had my walking foot leave a mark on anything, and I use that foot more than any other. Might she need to clean her foot? It seems like the foot pressure would have to be pretty excessive to leave a mark.

Gosh - I'm so behind reading. 87 messages while I've been cooking, being tour guide and entertainer. Visitors are great to see but also very, very tiring. Got to get back into the creative saddle so will look through some eye candy.
Wendy; making curtains by hand!!!!!! Wow you're one determined lady - do you have a M-i-L looking over your shoulder? You deserve a whole bag of M&Ms to yourself after that!
Lois - I've got a teflon foot for an old machine that is out of action. Will see if it can be fixed to another machine and give the laminate a try.
Luann and Nancy, you both mention that you use a walking foot on laminate - doesn't that leave marks? DD tried that and she said she had marks on the top side but she can't reduce the foot pressure on her machine so maybe that is why.
Heather - lots of eye candy from you. Fingers crossed you get into the FMQ class at Houston - Just going must be very exciting! I can't imagine how I would feel if I got to go

Rosemary, your mini bargello is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Jaw dropping amazing - thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to quiltwise on this gem. Art in Action is a wonderful place to spend time. Haven't been for over 15 years. Used to be a must for the summer when I lived in Oxfordshire. DD goes most years so hope to join her - maybe next year.
I would need bags of only blue M&Ms!!!!!!!!!
Kathy - I did a table runner and a Sweet Sixteen bag a long time ago using that technique. It is so effective and really easy to do. I only used wadding in the table runner. You can use 4-patches for the "back" and get interesting patterns
Renata your table runner is delightful - love the colours. Would go so nicely with my dining room rug; hint-hint

The dyed fabric is so gorgeous. I almost regret giving up dyeing when I see fabrics like these but I had so many disasters and never really enjoyed using the fabric I dyed so better leave it to others and just drool over the colours

Hope to keep up with the thread now. The rest of July should be quiet but who knows?

Off to exercise now

See you
Marianne

Renata, your quilt is very pretty. Your various quilting motifs fit it perfectly. You are a very nice friend!

Rosemary! How did you know I needed those M&Ms? I've been sewing all day and am tuckered out. That is so cute. Did you make it up or did you find those somewhere?

Pemela, yes, by all means, a wee whiskey before bed is necessary. What type do you like? My husband and sons like whiskey. Glad I could assist in your recovery!

Hope the coming week will be good for everyone....
