Great Way to use Table Runners!

We have a new Table Runner pattern--"Sew Simple Table Runner" that we are including free in the kits.  A cute Hallmark Print is the centerpiece of the runner !
 
Other than the obvious use--On a Table--I tried it out in some fun, unexpected ways--







Perfect size as a WallHanging above a Twin Bed!





How about a pop of color on the back of a loveseat?





or a nice little Twin Bed Runner to add some holiday cheer to a guest room?

Charmed, I'm sure!


    We have a lot of fun with these little metal charms--the connecting rings and little lobster clasp are available, too-- so it's not just about sewing them onto something--ALTHOUGH they do look adorable as mini ornaments on our Christmas Star--

We put silver on the bright tree and gold stars or jingle bells on the traditional tree. Kits are just 13.99!

Oh Yes We Do Too Have Thimbleberries...

 INSTOCK Thimbleberries Christmas Patterns

There's plenty of time to finish any one of these great projects for Christmas...Quilts, Wallhangings, Pillow Pals, Stockings, and even a Tree Skirt! 
(A little bigger PIC when you CLICK on the picture!)


THIMBLEBERRIES' aren't just for Thimbleberries!
 All these projects shine with our other Christmas  fabrics...
Snowmen, trees, owls, snowflakes, holly...






...pointsettias with shiny gold or yuletide traditional.







Of Course, we also love the warm and cozy look of Thimbleberries' patterns made with Thimbleberries' fabrics!

We have a nice selection of Thimbleberries blues and autumn colors, too!
