Okay, okay. I know. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. So. Let's just say "I'm So Happy." "I'm So Satisfied." Or "I'm Amazed."
I have tried a new skill. It is one I have wanted to try for a long time. I free-design quilted on my sewing machine! I used a tool (screwdriver!!) to put a darning foot (which I didn't even know I owned) on my trusty Janome sewing machine and quilted crazily all over this wild Halloween table runner. I purposely used all this wild fabric so that the quilting would not be prominent. It is VERY rough and totally a practice effort. But I did it and I can only get better from here, right.
I'm pleasantly surprised with this crazy runner. I think it looks kind of eerily festive! Thanks to my good friend Jill who made me the original summery one and to Moda Bake Shoppe for the idea.

Way to go, Linda! Your table runner looks great! And, I think you should be pleased with yourself for developing a new skill/talent :o)
Or proud. Justifiably, I think. :D I have always wanted to try that technique...but then I remembered that I have no sewing machine or sewing capability AT ALL... Guess I'll live vicariously for now.
Wow, I want to steal that (envy is another deadly sin, isn't it?). That looks fantastic. And you were so brave to quilt it in a new way.
I wonder if I could do that on my machine? looks great!
