.: running :.

So the heading could be misleading, in that it may imply that I have been running.  Or that I do run. When in actual fact, I never run anywhere.  Ever.  Truly.

These last couple of weeks have just felt really busy - lots of stuff happening, lots of running (driving) around all over the place, not much time to sew or sit for too long.  So - I feel like 'running' is the way to describe it.  

Then today I finished a cushion for a small friend.  Who DOES honestly love to run.  And she is super-good at it too. 

.

The insert is 26 inches - it's a ginormous cushion.  Wish I'd thought to take a pic of the cover by itself once I'd finished quilting it, so you can see it says 'run Lizzie run' - rather than 'run izzi run'.  Ah well.   For all the letters, I used the fabulous 'Word Play Quilts' book by Tonya Ricucci. 

.

All the letters are blue.  And the background is the very sweet Sweetwater print 'Bucket-list', from their 'Noteworthy' line.

.

To throw another colour into the mix, there's also the fab crosshatch print in red, from Lu Summers' Summersville line for Moda.

.

.

On the back is a Marimekko-esque print from Spotlight. 

.

So that's it then.  The end of a couple of weeks of 'running'.  Hope your run-up to Easter has been a little more slower-paced.  I am much more tortoise than hare.
