Fall Decorating



I started my holiday decorating yesterday, and to kick it off right I made this fall table runner. The fabric is really cute.... little wolves and squirrels (because they naturally are friends...). The backing is a dark brown with tiny white polka dots, but I forgot to take a picture of that side so you'll just have to use your imagination.
Next up are the pillows. Not sure what to do for fall (I'm trying to stay away from an overwhelming Halloween theme so that I can leave everything up through Thanksgiving), but I do know what I'm doing for my Christmas pillows:)
Now I just need to also figure out my Christmas presents this year...........

FFAI&II



I started my Far Far Away I & II strip quilt yesterday, and I love it!!! I definitely need to make a smaller version of this for Sofi and Ella (maybe in place of the hand sewn quilt that I still haven't finished). I think I'm going to use Kona Coal for the backing, and still a bit undecided on the binding, but I've got time for that later. I want to make the smaller second one first. So much fun to make these, and so cute!!! I love fabric that can stand on its own!!:)

Underwater Sea Adventure Quilt

I've gone back and forth on this quilt since I started it, but now that it's finished I have to admit that I really like it a lot. And Adam said it's his second favorite quilt that I've made so far, which I think is saying something (especially considering that it's Heather Ross fabrics...).
It's the smallest quilt I've made, but I think it works. And I really love the back despite its simplicity (or maybe because of it?!).







Charm Quilt



I finally finished quilting the charms squares quilt, and while it does the job of keeping my legs protected from crazy cats while I watch tv, I don't really think this is my best looking quilt. I had a really hard time keeping the fabric on the back from bunching (even with a quilt adhesive and binding pins). But at least it's done and I can move on....
Zadie seems to like it though. And I am getting better at binding...!!!
