I can’t believe that it is almost Thanksgiving in the US!! Seems like the 4th of July was just here and now it is winter holiday time!!!

I had therapy twice this week and find the bicycle easier now and exercising to stimulation harder. I have been released from elevating at night and only as needed now…same with ice. I am walking around the house unassisted (except touching the walls occasionally.. LOL!) and bring the cane when I leave the house though 🙂 I am post op 3 1/2 weeks now 😀

Speaking of Molly I made her an autumn bandana to wear… I put one of her older ones on for now… and will use this one on Thanksgiving for festivity and fun too ❤

I layered the table runner and completed the machine quilting of the center …

And prepping the binding too….

Then after sewing the binding to the back and trimming it down I started hand quilting holly leaves around the table runner!

I am on the final outer border section now….

And here is a close up of the left end of the runner…..

I also finished the grey swirly hearts on either side of the Boho heart center and then marked and started stitching the cross hatching in the heart 🙂 I am pleased with this progress!

Linking this great slow stitching progress to Kathy’s Quilt linky party HERE <<<< Come see what everyone is linking up this week 😀
I made my daughter a change purse for her change collection….

A closer up view!

I fashioned it to clip onto the d ring on the wallet I am making her … which also features the sunflower fabric 🙂

Have a blessed family time this week and don’t eat too much this week! Thanks for stopping in 🙂

So glad recovery is going well and you are able to be sewing again! The runner is so pretty! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
