Scrappy hearts and a little embroidery...

This week, I got my scrappy hearts and 9 patches tablerunner layered and some machine quilting done.  This was a squirrel project I started back in January just because...


I've been stitching multiple vertical, horizontal, and diagonal straight lines through the 9 patches.  Then I decided to add some hand-quilting to the hearts, so I'll be working on that today.


I love this sweet fabric I found for the backing and binding!


Also this week, I've been stitching along with lots of other folks in the Crabapple Hill embroidery month stitch-along, and enjoying it very much!   I've learned some new stitches - some of which I definitely need more practice on!  


Sharing at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! and
