Hi Cuties-this is something I have been wanting to make myself for a couple years. Yes, I did say years. I wasn't really sure how I wanted the runner, but finally decided on this and kitchen curtain to match.
I did make the runner reversible, so maybe I can also use it for Valentines. On the curtain, my border trim is stitched in a large stitch length so I can take it off easily, to use that too for Valentines.
I am sure all photos will load sideways or upside down.I had to use my IPhone, as my camera went ka-puts last night. I guess I should now ask 'Santa' for a new camera, but I already had my request in for a new 'work' chair, for my sewing room.
I hope you like my items.-Toogie

I love seeing Cuties making something just for themselves. We are so generous with everyone else. Kudos to you for making YOU happy. You did a lovely job on this project. Enjoy it now and be proud.

You should have seen Nora when I made it this morning. She is showing everybody that comes in (as if they can't already see-lol).

Your runner is scrumptious. On the curtains, maybe you could add the little clear snaps and just snap on another edger for Valentines, Fourth of July or whatever. The polka dots always cheer me up.

Me too,graceandham! That's an idea but won't take me long to change as its a basting stitch.

I do like teapots, some were given to me, so I keep them. The one on the right is by Fitz and Floyd, the green Santa.

There will be 26 for Christmas meal. They are here every year, and we have 2 new babies this year!
Congratulations! You have quite a lot of loved ones around your table and that is the real Christmas joy being with family - but I hope you do not have to cook all alone. It's a lot of food to process. Have a wonderful time - Hugs Maria

No I cannot arrange flowers. I wish I could. I just found out my nephews wife can and she has offered to do flowers for me. These I bought at Fads & Frames.

P.S. I'll be around for afternoon tea about 4.00pm! With all those lovely teapots I'm sure I'll find one that will suit! Love Chris
I would love to have you over but I just collect them. When I was little I use to sing 'I'm a little teapot short & stout' now I look like that! - lol - I like red for Christmas too!

Wow perfect for any holiday with a small addition of occasion ornament. Well done for making you something we always think one day I'll make one for me.. but usually that doesn't happen. Sounds like Nora loves them to. Marian

Nora is a fu-fu, bling-bling girl! She notices everything.
Yes, I told my husband I was sewing something I (underlined I) wanted.
