Although I am back to work, I still feel like I am on a roll here. I have the top of this table runner done. I was really pleased with myself (for a change) and felt that all of my points looked good on this project. The pattern for this easy table runner is from Heather Mulder Peterson's Little Charmers II pattern.
Pattern Review:
Positives:
You know I love anything that uses Charms
Good use of diagrams
Good list of required fabrics
Easy to follow written directions
I like that there were 3 options, plus Heather goes on to explain how you could make a quilt using this pattern.
This was a snap to make; I did it late one evening.
I used Nature's Chorus for the colored squares and then a bright white I had in my stash, so the stars would stand out and not blend in. I was quite pleased with that decision, when I was done. I have ended up falling in love with Nature's Chorus, so beware you may be seeing lots of it in future blogs. Its weird though, I wasn't really wild about it when it first came out, but I guess I warmed up to it.
Are you in need of some decorating fabric? You should check out the Fabric Shack because they have a whole bunch of Joel Newbury 54 wide fabrics on sale for under $7.
Yes, I cashed in on that. I have a bag in mine I needed some heavier fabric for. That is quite the savings. Also, they have changed their shipping policies (at least for domestic requests) $5 flat rate for orders up to $75, which I also thought was quite the deal.
