Christmas Projects

Another Christmas over - some projects I made.

A runner and Scandinavian  Star ornaments made with Even a Mouse fabric.

 A sewing accessory pouch from http://fabricmutt.blogspot.ca/ with some fabric from https://www.madaboutpatchwork.com/ along with some from my stash.

A lovely addition to the Christmas decor in our home is this pillow.  Followed the tutorial from http://theredpistachio.blogspot.ca/ for this project.

 And last but not least, these Sweet Pea Pods from http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/

I wonder what 2017 has in store for sewing projects. :)

Even a Mouse Christmas Runner

Saw this cute fabric called Even a Mouse at Mad About Patchwork and decided to make a  Christmas runner.    I have done many Christmas star runners over the years and I wanted to try something different. 

Came across the Broken Herringbone tutorial .  It was for a 12 inch square block but I wanted to make a table runner in this pattern.  So, I made some adjustments and designed it to be approximately 12 1/2" x 36".

It went together easily - always making sure that I was cutting the proper 45 degree angle when trimming.  

Put it together with batting and backing and bound it with the striped fabric called Merry Mistletoe by Dena Designs.  I stitched in the ditch around the individual sections.
