I believe I started this table runner last year but never finished it.  Although it sat on my cutting table for a year, right in front of me so I wouldn’t forget it – I forgot it <blush>.

But, I remembered it this year!  There is a lovely lady at church who always makes my kids feel special with her gifts, her hugs and her words of encouragement.  Not to limit herself to my kids, she also loves my husband’s homemade sauerkraut and is anxiously awaiting his first batch of prickly pear cactus wine (which won’t be ready for about a year).  She and I email back and forth about once a week – her catching me up on their lives and me catching her up on ours.  She’s so cute!

She LOVES the hugs the kids give her and is amazed that our still kids thrive on hugs without being embarrassed, even in their teenage years.

This table runner is made with two different “Texas Hill Country” fabrics – and to me, it is Totally Texas!

The pattern for this table topper can be found at QuiltBug.com – albeit theirs is longer than what I made.
