Yep, believe it. I'm STILL sewing.
Sick of hearing about it? sowwwwwy
Don't worry. I've shut the Etsy shop down (pretty much) and am giving myself a rest. After a few days of recuperating, I got to work on some OTHER kinds of things. (Thank goodness!) I don't want to see another toy sword again before I die.
But Christmas stuff, well NOW you're talking...
THIS is the final in the set of "holiday table runners" for my sister-in-law. You can see her other runners for the rest of the year here.
I'm not ga-ga about this snowflake stuff on the back. But it matched very nicely, and it's only the backside. It will have to do. **crossing fingers very tightly**
Moving on.
I was able to use the leftovers of her fabrics to whip out some awesome stockings for another family today. I literally made all of these in about 3 hours. It was a speedy and hasty feat!!! But it made me SOOO happy to get them done and be able to give them away.
The green felt I used for the main part of the boot was dug out of a bag deep in my closet and was rather crumpled. Hence the "wrinkled" look you will see below. A) I'm not sure if you really can/should iron felt and B) I had NO time to worry about it. So aside from the wrinkles, I think they turned out pretty dang cute!
There's even little jingle bells attached right by the strap - FUN!
Oh look, even my decongestant is getting into the Christmas spirit!

Can I please be you? Oh woman of marvelous, wonderous, talents?
LOVE what you have done. always. you rock that sewing machine like no other. :_)
I can't believe you have any desire to sew after all those swords. I get burned out too quickly. Kuddos to you and all your awesome Christmas projects. I'm feeling very lazy now!!!
You're amazing. Plain and simple.
Hooray for my table runner!!! I love the green poka-dot fabric, and I personally really like the snowflake stuff too. I think the loopy quilting turned out very nice. YAY!!! I'm excited to get it an put it on the table!
Not sick of it in awe of it! You are amazing. I love seeing everything you do.
Man you are a busy busy bee. Where do you find the time? I love all of your table runners. I was slightly thinking about making some myself (but only slightly). And I really like the snowflake pattern, I think it's cute and a little retroish.
I am still laughing at the decongestant comment. I love the runner and the stockings. You are amazing. But we already knew that.
You are much faster than I am at sewing! Everything looks great! I adore the loopty loop swirly quilting on the table runner. You do it so well. I just made a hot pad, trying out the same quilting style. My quilting didn't look as good as yours. I decided to do the stipple for the Christmas quilt.
Love your sewing and quilting. How exactly do you quilt it like that...just on your sewing machine. I would like details....can you email me...cposvar@hotmail.com. Thanks!
Your posts are not only impressive, but also entertaining. :) I'm missing you right now. And wishing we lived close so you could teach me some of your amazing sewing tricks. One of these days, when I find some time for a project, I may have to come to you for some tips.
Sure love you!
I think that snowflake fabric is cute. And the stockings turned out great!
Wow, you're amazing. That would've taken me forever to make! I like the snowflake fabric too. :)
