Table runner. Napkins. Gift Bags. DONE!

I finished these on Saturday. The table runner is 65" x 16", exactly fitting between the placemats on my table when it's set for 8 or 10.

I'll spare you my quilting, it's not that great, fortunately, there will me lots of plates on top of it for Christmas dinner! However, I'm relatively pleased with the piecing I did. I did strips with sashing, so if my corner points weren't perfect, it wouldn't be obvious.

Last, some napkins for our table, a set of 4 cocktail size for the gift stash, and a couple little gift bags. I have no scraps left of the cream! I did save the leftovers of the burgandy/gold, as I think I may do a couple pot holders or something later this year.

Another gift bag



Just another gift bag. =) I have "helpers" who like to pick the fabrics! I am working on an owl ornament, but am having issues with the eyes. I tried to make "yo-yos" but ignored the tute author who suggested that the thread being strong (quilting) thread. I painstakingly sewed all the way around the first yo-yo, pulled snug and.....SNAP! Sighs. Anyone else have completed projects to share?
