Table runners

I don't know how it's been so long since I have posted! Life gets so busy that I don't have time to sew let alone post!

I have some halloween table runners that need some Christmas backs, so I put up the designs on my wall to see which one I liked better.

I kind of like them both, but lean towards the second because of the spacing with the white.

tacos table runner

This is some of the fabric I bought from a Jo-Ann's that was closing.  I LOVE the tacos fabric.  I managed to find this green that I think compliments it well.  I am going to put a fall design on the back side, so it's double sided.

Table runner - red, white & blue

I am trying to make more table runners that are different holidays, Christmas is generally fairly easy, but I can't sell those well in the spring.

So I thought I would go through my scraps and wanted to make a red, white & blue one.

My husband helped me lay this one out.

Christmas in July

Here is another swap I was in.  Christmas in July!  It was nice getting a Christmas package in July.

This is what I received, a mini wall hanging and some notions.

I made my partner a table runner that is double sided.  One side was trees and the other leaves.

Table runner #3

 I believe I shared this exact same table runner already!! But this was the 3rd one my mother in law got, I also gave one similar to my sister in law.  Hers only had 3 presents, I wasn't sure how long her table was.

I was so excited to give these as Christmas presents, I am going to try to make more home made things from now on.  I just need to start sooner in the year :)

Table runner #2

Here is the fall table runner I made for my mother in law. 

This one has a story. I posted pictures of some leaves I had made in the spring. I made them into a runner, well actually two. I knew where they were in my sewing room until I went to quilt them!

I searched high and low and just could not find them! So I ended up making the one you see above.

Well last night I finished the binding on a quilt. I didn't have any other pressing projects, so I decided to clean up my sewing room. Instead of organizing strips as I cut them I just leave them in a pile. As I was putting them away you'll never guess what I found! The original two table runners!

I was quite amused. 

Holiday table runner

I am not sure how well you can see it, but here is a table runner I made for my mother in law. She actually got three this year!

I will have to get pictures of the other two later, but I thought I would share this one now. 

Table runner

I made some table runners off a pattern I saw on pinterest.  I loved this project because it was a stashbuster.  I didn't have to cut into big pieces.

I just love how pretty the presents are!

 I even went scrappy on the back and used some left over 4" squares that I had.

Falling leaves

I have a few more leaves done.  I sure do love them! I am not as in love with the dark colored with the leaves on it, but it will fit nicely with the others!
