I was determined to work on some of the projects on my to do list at the Retreat<\/a>. I also wanted to work on some projects I wasn’t likely to work on at home.<\/p>\n

First up was the Thanksgiving tablerunner<\/a>. It has only been on my to do <\/a>list for 5 minutes, but I started with it because it is small. I figured that I could actually finish it.<\/p>\n

I was able to finish the quilting. I am a bit of a maniac when I do decide to quilt, so the project took me all afternoon and into the evening. I did go out to dinner and socialize, but otherwise sat in front of my machine and quilted.<\/p>\n

I quilted diagonal lines in the center (red) using some blue painter’s tape to keep the lines even and straight. As I got more comfortable, my mania started to kick in and around the edges I did a lot more quilting. I followed the outline of the pumpkins and gourds. I also quilted a lot around the leaves on the top and bottom and in the orange sashing.<\/p>\n
