Open Sewing & Ten-Minute Table Runner

At Gruber's Quilt Shop in Waite Park (suburb of St. Cloud), Minnesota, there is open sewing on the third Monday of each month. Today was one of those fun days of sewing when we not only had a great time visiting, eating lunch, and sewing but Teresa of Gruber's gave us a challenge. The shop supplied the fabric to make a "Ten-Minute Table Runner" if we were willing to be timed to see how long it actually took us to sew one of the table runners. Well, my friend Maureen finished first at twelve minutes. There were six of us that had taken up the challenge.

Everyone had a fun day but here they are looking all together too serious!! LOL Can't let that happen for long! 

Hope you all had as fun a day as I did.

 Hugs, Beth

    1. I have several of these runners. Because there is so little work in them, I don't feel bad at all if they get slopped all over!! My boys ( 74 & 44 years) are sometimes a little sloppy! LOL
