First projects of 2014


I was cleaning up scraps this past Autumn when two different fabrics caught my eye.  One was a brick pattern that I used to make a tote for my friend Carol.  The other was some leftover scraps of cat fabric I used for Halloween projects for my nieces.  You can see the projects here.  Anyway, I fancied the bricks with the cat and since my son and daughter-in-law live in a city, I thought I would merge the pieces together for a project.  I'm on a mission to use up scraps instead of store them so this was a perfect time to put that philosophy in practice.  I don't usually title my projects but this one I do call "Mitz in the City".  Mitzi is Peter and Jessica's cat:

Here is the tablerunner I made for them:
 Oh and I used up the chards leftover to make a mugrug too:
Personally, I'm not a big fan of orange and I am not sure if Jessica is either but I thought it would be nice for her table in Autumn.  Since Valentine's Day is approaching, I made it reversable for that holiday:
I'll give it to them tomorrow.  They are coming up to our town because Peter's comedy group is doing a gig at the Sands or the casino's or something tonight.  I know I better give it to them this weekend because with our weather, who knows when I will see them again!  Anyway, have a safe and happy day!

Ready for Christmas

After many years of prodding, my husband finally replaced the fabric on our old dining room chairs--and he FINISHED the job. I love the new fabric and think it really makes the chairs look so sweet! I've had this fabric for YEARS!
I joined a new Yahoo Christmas group and they had a link to a "10 minute tablerunner" they shared. It took me more than 10 minutes but I made 3 different ones. These were unfinished when I photographed them; they are done now! This one is for Jess and Peter:
I love this fabric and hope they will too!

Two other presents :
