It was a great day for running - not too hot and not too cold but with a good breeze. I managed to finish in 2 hours 7 minutes! I am very happy with this time as I get to run once in a blue moon. But it does make me realise that I am only a shadow of my pre-baby fit self. Oh well!
My sister was also running yesterday - but in Paris. She ran the full marathon in 3 hours 56 minutes. Go Kate!!!! Fantastic time! And she sounded very bright and breezy at the end.
So I should imagine that not a lot will get done today. Mostly because I had a tidy up and put away all my fabric upstairs and my legs will not cooperate to get me there!
So instead I shall sit and ponder my doll quilt swap quilts and decide which to send my partner. And more importantly what binding to use. I am definitely considering polka dot (thanks Katy for the suggestion). But if you have any other ideas let me know please!

Wooot for the running sisters! I think 2h07m is a great time if you're only sneaking runs in, and how exciting for your sister to come in under 4 hours! That's a great time, and Paris is not a fast marathon - I'm so happy for both of you!
You never fail to amaze me! Mum, crafter, quilter and runner too!?! Way to go. (And hanging the quilts on a skirt hanger - may have to pinch that idea one day...)
I love both the quilts, and the buttons on the girl quilt. How cute are they? I have the pink ones too.
I hope your legs have forgiven you and will let you get into your craft room! :)
Well done! I can't even remember the last time I ran voluntarily... I admire you xx
Beautiful work. I love the bottom one! Polka dot sounds cute. Post when your done.
wow. I wish that I were a runner. It always sounds so impressive. They had an iron man here this weekend and I'm just in awe of those people!
But back to your quilts. I love the idea of a polka dot for the girl in chair quilt, but I think that a solid fabric would work well for the birdie one. There is so much going on in that one, I don't think that it needs more pattern in the binding.
Boy are the both super beautiful! Great job!
CONGRATS!!!!! Both of you had such an awesome finishing time. 2 hours and 7 minutes is a great accomplishment... and 3 hours and 56 minutes - WOW! I'm in awe. Rest up those legs and eat to your hearts content for the next few days. You deserve it!
I don't run unless I'm being chased so good for you! Can I tell you that the recipient of the doll quilt is a lucky girl regardless of which one she gets. Both quilts are fabulous. I have to wipe the drool off my keyboard every time I see those quilts. You are one talented lady!
Congrats to both you and your sister! Love the doll quilts, too.
Run? Run? What is this strange pastime of which you speak?! Seriously ... well done you - I'm so impressed. I'm also impressed by the quilts - both utterly gorgeous. x
Love the doll quilts. That's me drinking tea right now! Good for you on the marathon. The Rock and Roll Marathon is coming to Seattle and I need a push to do it. Bands every mile!
Well done on the marathon!! Wonder which quilt you will choose to send?
These quilts are gorgeous....well done...and WAY TO GO GIRL on the run...gosh my legs hurt just thinking about your run...lol..hugs Khris in Oz
