Firstly... as this is my 333rd post, I must call it my "Pickles Post"...

When making table runners from border prints, I have realised that you get more for your money if you purchase fabric with the border print running the same way as the selvedge, NOT the width of the fabric.

When making table runners from border prints, I have realised that you get more for your money if you purchase fabric with the border print running the same way as the selvedge, NOT the width of the fabric.
I bought 2 yards of this Santa print, with the border running the width of the fabric, and only got 2 runners and 1 mat from it, where I got 4 runners and 3 mats from 3 yards with the print running along the selvage.
While I was quilting & binding the table runners, Mum was busy piecing this Christmas Kit...
It came up very nice...
I also pulled out a "kit" I bought last year, it consisted of a large piece of fabric, "minky" for the backing & a matching piece of fabric for the binding...
I quilted it together including wadding in the middle. I loved the way it came out as it is SOOO soft.
Mum is now asking for another project to sew or quilt. As I prepare & cut out for her, I had better go and find something. While I'm at it, I need something for me too!
Until next post...
