I had a very productive week and it's too bad that I didn't know the winner of the Giveaway because I had plenty of time to make the table runner.
I tackled the pile of fabric in my sewing cabinet and finally made things I had been planning to make for ages.
4 pillow covers made from dish towels now adorn the guest room bed.
6 stockings made from scraps are all ready for November 27 when I begin decorating the house for Christmas.
These embroidered hearts are quick to make when I am sitting by the fire watching a movie.
Scraps from Steve's canvas stretching were given stripes and sewn into stars - the plan is to make a bunch of different sizes and hang them on the garden ladder.
My sewing basket is packed with projects and ready to grab whenever I have some spare time.
Today I will be busy making the table runner for Lucky 13 who is the winner of my table runner Giveaway.
Lucky 13 happens to be Diane of Lavender Dreams.
Diane gave me creative license to use whatever words I want and I must say, I love all the ideas people suggested.
I'll be branching out in what I stencil on future projects.
Thanks to all who left comments on the Giveaway - it's amazing what a few kind words can do!
Congratulations to Diane. I hope you show us what words you do put onto the runner. It's so great to share creative ideas via blogging!

congratulations to the winner. she must be very happy to win such a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteEverything is SO cute---this is all about the homespun sort of Christmas I love. I'm envious and inspired by your creativity!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in trying my hand at the table runner you made. Is it drop cloth and did you just pull the threads around the edges? I've made something similar but I used iron on webbing for the edges and wasn't crazy about how it came out This is just so neat!
I'm sending off an email now. Hurray for Diane! :)

ReplyDeleteYay, Congratulations to Diane! Love your maileg's! Doesn't it feel great to get so many projects done! Good for you! Keep creating!! 😊
ReplyDeleteI've been out of touch so I have to go backward to figure out what the contest was! But I love all blogs with "Lavender" in the name since my maiden name is Lavender and I always wonder if the blogger and I are related. I like the idea of sitting down with a bunch of scraps and just making stuff. I think I should dedicate a day to that soon.
ReplyDeleteahhh, we all love Diane...I'm thrilled for her to win this most darling and generous giveaway...
ReplyDeleteI love your stars and hearts...so cute.
Congrats to diane. I like all the canvas decorations you are creating. Like those pillow covers too. Enjoy your weekend. Debbie
