Inspiration

Carol spent the month of July posting things she made for Christmas.  Either for gifts or decorations to use in her home.  Not everything was "christmasy" and one of her projects caught my eye.  A table runner she made with Hometown by Sweetwater.  I really like it and thought I would make the same for my new kitchen.

I found and ordered the pattern and made mine out of Lucy's Crab Shack.  The colors in the fabrics coordinate well with my kitchen.  I followed Carol's lead and did my borders the same.  The ric rac border used in the pattern is cute but I wanted to finish this one quickly and didn't want to fuss.

I haven't had a chance to quilt it yet but I HOPE to get it done for Amelia's birthday.  Simple straight lines for me.  But I'm not holding my breath.  There are 4 quilts that I would like to get quilted and I have been having a hard time pinning my husband down to help me cut the backings.  He is the math whiz.  I just wing it but I need him for these.  :)

 

 

That's the little sewing I got to do.  I will make this pattern again. Super cute.  Super quick and really easy.  My kind of project!  :)

Thanks for the inspiration, Carol!

Enjoy your day!
