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.

Table runners for a non-quilter!

The procrastinating is over, the fabric is here, and I see an hour or so of free time tomorrow.

This is the fabric, 2 cottons with a bit of gold for the runner, and the not-quite-matching-but-was-boxing-day-sale-priced-flannel for napkins.

By posting this, I hope someone might leave a comment with a really simple idea, and that I'll be accountable to actually finish this this weekend!

What are you crossing off your list this weekend?

Tree Skirts and Table Runners Love

One of our own Sewing Mamas, Isabel, recently shared a few quilting projects on the Sewing Mamas Discussion Boards, and we felt it was just too lovely not to share it here on the YOC blog. Take a gander at her gorgeous work:

Way to go getting so much done this month already, Isabel!

Merry January everyone!
