More Table Runners?

Okay, I admit- I have a love for table runners!  I think they dress up an area and give it a warm and comfortable look.  I like them tables, counters and dressers.  And more!

I worked on this runner for my son and daughter-in-law for their living room and gave it to them for their anniversary.  It fits perfectly on their console table and coordinates with the runner that I gave them last year for their coffee table.

Here's what the previous one looks like.  They both contain the same colors so that they match! Wait until you see what matching item they get for Christmas! 

Do you like to use runners as part of your decor?  Do you have any in an unusual place?  I'd love to hear new ideas for places to put them. 

More Cheetah

My daughter loves homemade items made using cheetah and animal prints.  So this year for her birthday I made her some projects using her favorite fabrics.  Her walls in the dining room are a pretty golden yellow so I added that color in, as well.  Pinwheels are one of my favorite quilt blocks to make and I just love how this runner came out.  It will look great on her dining room table.

Last year I had made her a runner for the coffee table in the living room.  Here is what that looked like.  Same colors, only different blocks.  Now the two areas will coordinate!

I also made her a quilted cosmetic bag and a zippered wallet from the animal prints.  And let's not forget the matching key fob! 

 

Do you like animal printed fabrics?  If you do, which animal print is your favorite?

Making Table Runners

Okay, I think I have a "thing" for making table runners!  I made several using this star pattern.  It's not that difficult to make.  I will work on making a tutorial for it in the near future! 

This one I made in a cheetah-type print for my daughter.  One day we were out at Joann Fabrics and she liked the print so we bought the whole bolt!

I made four of these for Christmas presents.  They make a great gift.  Your recipient only needs to bring it out on the holidays, and who doesn't need a festive table runner?
