Something fun...

I decided that since I was done with Halloween costumes, and before I started my Christmas sewing that I wanted to take the time to sew something for myself. Something that I could enjoy sewing and using. So this week I sewed up this...

and I LOVE it. It's the first time I've taken a charm pack to make something.

A charm pack is a set of 5 x 5 inch squares that you can find at most quilting stores when a new line of fabric comes out. Each fabric square is a different fabric. I used a little over half of my charm pack to make this table runner so I still have some more pretty fabrics to play with from the set.

I used the instructions here. I of course did not do a quilt, but loved the idea and actually ran across another person who made a table runner and thought it was a great idea.

I still have some work to do on it. Haven't decided how to quilt it and I've got to find some fabric I want to use to bind it, but I will have it done in time for Thanksgiving.

I will be starting on all things Christmas next. I have a few Christmas stockings to make, I am going to finish the Christmas table runner that I started last year and an advent calendar that I want finished before December. And of course in two weeks I have the Festive Friday I'll be helping with.

So if you can't find me, come see if I'm burried under a pile of fabric. That's probably where I'll be for the next little while.
