On the spur of the moment, I made myself a Halloween table runner. Unfortunately, by the time I had it finished, there wasn't much time to enjoy it. I'll just put it up and wait for next year to bring it out.
I've also made some dishtowels that have a fabric strip on the front. In the past, I have made these and pieced the fabric strip. This time around I am feeling a bit lazy. So, I decided to just cut one strip of fabric (6" wide) and then press each edge under 1/2". I think it's a great idea, especially for fabrics with a wonderful pattern.
This first set is for my dad's wife. I bought these fabrics with her in mind, but that was over a year ago. I think that she recently painted their kitchen a light blue, so it will work out well.
I just loved this fabric, and I got a great deal at the fabric store ($5 a yard, I think). I have no particular person in mind as a recipient for these.
Again, I just loved this fabric. Not sure who will end up with them.
Today, I bought some Christmas fabric that might look cute on some towels, too. I sort-of wish that these were the only things I needed to make...so simple. *sigh* I have much to accomplish before the holidays!

The towels came out great. I especially like the first group that you made for your MIL.
The apples are so retro! They're cute :)
That is a neat idea Sally. Love the table runner too. That will be a lot of fun when you open the storage box next fall and say "ooooh Look what I have." [I love that feeling!]
Have a great week. Always nice to see you.
