Some progress and something new

I had a good day stitching on Sunday afternoon and again on Monday night so this afternoon after work I was able to quickly sew together block 6 of the Boys Story quilt ...
I really like this little robot, I think he's pretty cute!  And this block was quite a quick one to do.  Now I am stitching an alien ...

And my something new ... well, I really love the look of table runners (I made two last year for furniture) and I wanted one for our dining room table ... so here is my start ...

It is a pattern from the Homespun magazine, Vol 12.3, by Heather Mulder Peterson.  Quite tricky sewing for me and then there is a little bit of applique to add.
Well, an alien is calling my name!
Happy sewing, Wendy.

    I love table runners too. I am planning to make them for all the holidays and special occasions ie Valentines Day and St Patricks Day - still in the design mode and on fabric hunt. I am always looking for patterns. Looking forward to seeing a finished picture.

    Oooh, love that table runner, I'll have to dig out that issue and have a look, diamonds look tricky, I'm guessing it uses some form of strip piecing and cutting on the angle? Lovely!
