Michigan Fall Table Runner

Michigan Fall Table Runner

I made this table runner as a gift for some up coming visitors to Michigan.  They are from southern California so I thought a gift that lets them bring the beauty of Michigan's fall foliage back with them would be ideal.  Its a collection of various fall fabrics in different widths and quilted together.  I hope they will like it and that they have a great trip to Michigan.

 

Eeyore Pillow

Eeyore Pillow

I made this Eeyore Pillow as a birthday present.  I found a free online paper piecing pattern on Pinterest. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/136374694942633344/  It was a pretty easy pattern and went to together fast.  I pieced it together one day then sewed it into a pillow another.  I hope she likes it, I do.

 

Footstool

Weekend project: Recover Footstool

 I brought this stool at our local Salvation Army for $5. I thought its was in good shape and has nice rollers.  It just needed to be recovered.  I went to the fabric store and spent $15 dollars on 2 yards of fabric(I have about 1/2a yard leftover).  I picked a yellow heavy weight fabric that would match my living room. This project took me about an hour to complete, the piping arround the top taking up the most time.  I LOVE IT and it looks great in my livingroom.

Tara's Kitchen Towels

 

 

I made those kitchen towels for my sister, Tara, as a birthday present.  Very easy and I think they turned out great.  Just cut a strip of fabric about an inch longer then your towel.  The width is an inch longer then your desired finished width.  I wanted a 3 inch strip so cut I my fabric at 4 inches.  Next iron all the edges back 1/2 inch.  Pin this pressed piece on to the towel, use a straight edge to align it.  Sew all around to seal off.  I double sewed for look and extra straight.  Before I finished I added a strip at the top for hanging.  TRY IT!!!

 

 

Carlos' Quilt

Pattern is from City Quilts, page 94.  City Shops is the pattern name however I added an extra row and 7" to all rows to increase the overall size.  Fun and easy pattern to follow.  I very much like the way it turned out and it was given away as a gift.
