Planner and wallet

These are a planner cover and wallet I made for my niece. This is her last year of college for teaching, so I thought these were appropriate. She will be doing alot of student teaching. The fabric is a Debbie Mumm print from Joann's. The wallet is an embroidery in the hoop project from ANitaDesigns. They have such cute projects. The planner cover wasn't a pattern. I just measured the size of the planner, and went from there.

Halloween table runner

I found this really cute fabric by Debbie Mumm at my local Joann's. The original pattern for the table runner uses a border fabric that goes the length of the fabric. This border print goes the width of the fabric. It's very easy to adapt to using widthwise instead of lengthwise. Here is the original pattern: http://www.ttfabrics.com/images/patterns/StripedRunner.pdf

First, and most important. Make sure you get enough of the fabric in order to have 3 of the same border print. I bought 1 1/2 yds, which was plenty. It's really important to have 3 of the same border ,or it won't work. You need to use the 60 degree triangle on the 3rd border piece. Fold the fabric in half, right sides together, and cut out the triangle. You need to have a total of 4 of these triangle.

With the other two border prints, lay them right sides together. Using your 60 degree ruler, cut one side of the triangle off on each end of the fabric.

Now, complete the tablerunner with the instructions from the origanal runner pattern.

Thanks to Karen Montgomery for this pattern. I love it, and have quite a few of them for all holidays and seasons.

Snowman wallhanging

I love snowmen, so when I saw this wallhanging. I knew I had to have it. Snowmen are a major part of my christmas decorating. but this one can stay up for the entire winter. It doesn't scream Christmas. All I did was add a couple borders to the center panel, quilt it, put the binding on, and it was done. These panels make it so easy to have a really cute wallhanging.
