Not much to write today...busy day at work. I left a pile on my desk to tackle tomorrow. I hate leaving things until tomorrow, but c'est la vie.
Did anyone else love love love the spring-type weather today?! I changed into a short sleaved shirt after school and drove with my window down. Love it!
After work, I ran to town to pick up the rest of the fabric I need to finish my table runner project. I also went to this new store I found out about - Village Quiltworks on Keene off of Queensgate. When I was looking at their website, I saw that they had this adorable kit, so I called to see if they had any left and there was ONE, so I asked for it to be put on hold until this afternoon. I am now the proud owner of the fabric and pattern to make this:

I realize it might be a little out of my skill range, but I might be good enough in the near future! No way to get there but to practice!
I came home and played around a little bit. I cut the fabric and batting for my table runner, but it requires mitered corners and that freaks me out. It's still in pieces.
So, I moved on to coasters that I'd seen in one of my books.
Here's my lopsided, but kinda cute coaster. It's growing on me. I had it in mind to give to someone, but since I don't quite have the straight stitching thing down, I'll keep it to remind me of my humble beginnings.
I was hoping to stop and see Jessica and Emersyn today, but they are both down and out - so GET WELL WISHES TO YOU!!! GET BETTER SOON!!!
WE NEED TO HANG OUT!!!
Also - my Beta group is sponsoring a Crafter's Retreat January 30-February 1. We're needing some additional participants, so if you know anyone that is interested - have them call me (509-531-8471) or email me (marciekoch@gmail.com). Any and all types of crafters are welcome! The cost is $90 for the weekend. It's at the Clarion Hotel in Richland, so retreat participants can stay at the hotel if they choose. It's going to be rockin'!

Okay, you have the cutest fabrics, and I think your table runner and coaster are super cute!
Also, my bread turned out so so good. My husband even said I need to throw out all other recipes and stick to this one. I gave a loaf to my friends, they said it was the best they'd ever had. Oh, and my secret is, I always pull things out a little prematurely. I like doughy stuff, and I make everyone around me like it (or at least eat it) So maybe that would work to help yours be more moist? Thanks again for the delish recipe!
