Time to have a play around with that pile of 8 1/2" batik squares that I was given last month. There is not enough to make anything big so a tablerunner it will be. Having spent ages on Pinterest looking for ideas a decision was made to go with the pineapple blossom block.
My goal for this month will be to make a new tablerunner.
We have hit the storm season again and true to form out goes the power again yesterday. More storms are forecast for the next few days so I will make a start on some gardening while the ground is soft and the weeds offer no resistance when pulled out. Once that has been taken care of time to head off to the sewing room to cut and sew more pineapple blocks - hopefully we will not lose power again.
Now that a lot of restrictions have been eased off due to COVID it is nice to be able to catch up with friends again to enjoy a meal together at a restaurant. Hubs and I were very good during the week and opted for the healthy option when ordering. I went with the Vietnamese chicken salad

Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all

Nice you could eat out. I love doing that!
You made the perfect choice for your prize fabric. The black is perfect as well.
Be good to see the end result of the table runner.
Pleased you enjoyed a meal out together..
We've had a few storms come thru in the last few weeks..... Power all good so far although it did flicked on and off a few times quickly..... Nice block..... And it's great to feel a bit more freedom.....
Cute block, bummer about the power going out though.
It's going to be a beautiful table runner!
lovely block, batiks are so vibrant and the black is a wonderful contrast... have you got a hand crank or treadle machine.... they are useful!

Wonderful for you to be able to eat out again. Love the pineapple block, hope you don't have to go without power too often.
Good luck with your runner. It will be nice and bright for summer
Hi,
Beautiful Pineapple block...the black really
sets it off. Have a great day!
I like the colours in your table runner block Karen.
Hopefully you'll work on it at FNwF...xox
I like your block choice!
Your salads look yummy. I love salads and eat them at least twice a week as a meal.
Nice block. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
