Friday Finishes
Happy Friday,
Once a month the quilting group I belong to does a “meet and eat” with a crafty gift exchange.
My partner this month is new to the area and is also an East Coast transplant like myself. She loves Fig Tree fabrics and pears are her favorite fruit.
I had some Somerset scraps, an older Fig Tree collection from an earlier project so I made a few potholders and small runner for her.

I exceeded the gift exchange requirement so I’ll give her the runner after lunch. 🙂

Happy Easter!
I’m sure your partner was extremely happy to receive your beautiful pot holders, and the table runner with the pears, was a very thoughtful gift. After seeing those gifts, the other members are all hoping to get you as a partner at some time.

Oh, that runner is so cute! I know at my house, potholders are always walking away and hiding, so that will be lovely for her, too.

Hi Karla! Oh my goodness, I love that table runner. It’s perfect for showing off those fabrics and the colors in it are so darn happy looking. The potholders sure turned out nicely – I’ll bet your quilting group partner was just thrilled with these. Happy Easter! ~smile~ Roseanne

Hi Roseanne, she was very surprised and very happy! A couple of the group members want their own pear table runner so they will do the piecing and I will do the embroidery for them! All in all it was a great day!
