From Idea to Reality!

The "idea" that I posted this morning is now a reality. I have made a version of the table runner.


I have also posted a video of the technique, that I call the Split Tumbler, on YouTube.  Here it is for your education and amusement.  I confess that we did at least three takes.  Somehow my tongue didn't want to say the right words. 




Also, I got permission to show the commission quilt. So here it is:

    Oh my, I love the penny whistle serenade on both ends of this video! I also like the demonstration of the GO tumbler block and variations thereof. Had to giggle when you mentioned ironing a couple times, who me? LOL...not unless absolutely necessary! Great demonstration, music and all!
