Here is a quick update to my post Starting Something New (and Scrappy).
I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the table runner I was making from my collection of batik fabric scraps using the pattern Bamboo Shade by Aardvark Quilts:
Here it is up on the design wall as I tested the layout and built it to the desired length:
And here are a couple photos of the pieced table runner which is nearly 72 inches long and used quite a bit of my batik fabric scraps (yay!):
It is nearly ready for me to machine quilt. I’ve already made the “quilt sandwich” of batting and a dark cream color batik backing. I just need to pin it down for quilting.
Oh and here are some photos of Mike the Miniature Schnauzer hanging out under my studio table (providing crafter emotional support, ha) while I put the table runner quilt sandwich together:

Mike does look supportive and helpful! Cats are not so helpful in the studio because they can jump up on the table/sewing machine/fabric storage…

amazing table runner
and great Mike you’ve under there, I can imagine that you don’t want that human tripping you up, dangling bits of threads, dropping her pins and generally injuring you! At the same time you can keep her working and not wandering off someplace else…
