Still Busy Crafting

Pin It My days have been lazy but not long! Seems like when I am kept busy with crafting, I never have enough time. I am trying to get all my Christmas gifts made early so I can enjoy the summer gardening and spending time outside in the sunshine.

Here are a few projects I have finished. The first is a quilted table runner made with snowmen with a flannel backing. So cozy!




Back side.



The next project was a set of coasters. I saw these on another blog....I am sorry I don't remember which one as I read so many. So if the original author is reading this please take it as a compliment. I love making these...so simple and practical!




I made a set of four with three different types of material. She used five different fabrics.



Do you notice how the coaster wraps around the base of the wineglass? I think this is so cool!



Here is the next table runner. This one is for me. I love this material!




Machine quilted.







Here is the backing.
Now I need to make some curtains for my Mother's closet. I will be using a lovely flowered blue pattern. Her room is painted a soft shade of blue so I think they will suit the room perfectly.
I hope everyone is enjoying their day and remember to give your loved ones a hug! :)

  1. Debbie those all turned out so nice! The coasters are a great idea, I'll have to go back and see if there is a link or, could you post the directions. Is that my tablecloth I see LOL! The table runners will be fun additions to any table. Smart to start now on gifts, I got as far as dusting the machine off!

  7. Hi Debbie,
    Your coasters are just great...I love the fabric. The table runners are beautiful too. You are my Christmas gift hero!! I always say I'm going to start in January, but I never do. I think if we blog about it, it puts the pressure on to show what we've finished. Thanks for the link to that coaster tutorial too...I really appreciate it.
    Have a great weekend,
    ~Karen~
