Multitasking

I always thought I could muti task but if I sewed leaders and enders, I always ended in a muddle. One place where I can multitask is on my long arm.  I loaded up a red and white backing with scraps of wadding and quilted five of the six place mats for Lizzie's Christmas present. It was tempting to also quilt the table runner at the same time, but I resisted. The scale of the quilting for the runner will be slightly smaller. I may take these to the November retreat to bind them.

Next on my machine will be my October Challenge UFO. Cutting it a little fine! I need to add some borders to the piece and then it can be stitched in the ditch. There are a few decorations to be embroidered but we have a storm threatened tomorrow so I can see a few days spent at home.
