ChristmasTable Runners

This elegant table runner will be a gift for someone's mom.
The poinsettias are just beautiful, outlined in gold.  In my opinion, Holiday Fabric
must have some gold accent to give it that elegant and rich look. This is also a
Kaufman Fabric, with Dark Green Marble Fabric by Timeless Treasurers.  The backside
has a Holly pattern making this reversible.  Needless to say I am making
one for myself.  You can never have enough table runners.




Elegant Leaves of Fall

This is truly one of the most beautiful fabrics, the leaves
are outlined in Gold giving it a elegant look.  Again I love this design.
Simple yet stunning.

Creating the design layout.  Getting the perfect pattern takes time because
you have to play with it and see what looks best.  I usually take pictures of
several different layouts then I pick the best.

Marcy's Runners


Valentines - This was a gift to my good friend Marcy for Valentines Day.  Marcy loves my work and I love giving it to her for presents.  She appreciates everything I make for her.

I made this reversible table runner for her as well for the Fall.

Linda's Table Runners

My friend Linda gave me fabric left over from her draperies and asked me to make somehting for her.  It took me a year to find the perfect match.  Thank goodness she wasn't in a hurry.  The pattern I used is very basic and contemporary.  The fabric I added to hers was the red and gold striped and the black squares.  This came out very beautiful and rich looking.  I think she was very pleased with it.  There is also some olive green in the stripes and gold accents.





This runner had red and gold striping and darker gold embroidered
fabric.  I found a deeper red/wine colored fabric to accent.  This is
very rich looking, the colors in these photos do not do it justice.



Quilt for new Baby Jackson

I made this baby quilt for a shower gift.  A little different from an ordinary baby quilt.  Since I knew they were having a boy, I thought this would a little more interesting. This was a fabric panel and I stitched around all the roads, all buildings, the fountain, mountains, the lake all vehicles all tree trunks and other things.  It took me 18 hours to complete this quilt. I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  Best wishes to Tiffany and Adam whose baby is due December 25th.









Christmas Place Mat and Table Topper

This place mat is reversible.  This is a Kaufman fabric with gold outlines,
 it is very elegant and decorative.


The white and red poinsettias all have gold in the fabric,  the green
squares are dotted with gold.  More Kaufman fabric.  I really do love
their fabrics, they are always so elegant.
