♥ Tutorial: Quilted Strippy Table Runner ♥

It's Saturday and you know what that means....it's time to start the quilting! I'm thinking table runners are going to be my new item for my Etsy shoppe. I found a great tutorial for a great-looking one. Isn't this an adorable runner? I love the bright floral colors! You can find this tutorial at: Amy Smart's Diary of a Quilter website, just click HERE. Yes, I will have to share mine as soon as it's done! Stay tuned! I might have to give sneak peeks as it progresses! :)

♥ Tutorial: Christmas table runner ♥

I have been so busy the past few months, I'm afraid my blogs have had to take a "back burner". I finished up the business class I was taking and I hope to get back into MY business now! ;) On one of my many "jaunts" around the web, I stumbled across this cheery Christmas table runner. I just had to share it here! I am just getting into quilting. Hope you enjoy this! :)

This lovely tutorial can be found at: From the Blue Chair.

♥ Waffles Stitch Crochet ♥

photo from Suburban Jubilee

I found this lovely pattern over at Suburban Jubilee! I love this waffle stitch and it would be perfect for a winter time afghan. Many afghans are made with an open stitch that allows cold air to seep in when you're trying to take a nap! :( Not very good! But this is a nice closed stitch and looks like..well...a waffle! Find the how to on how to make an afghan or dish cloths with this stitch HERE.

Hope you're having a wonderful Friday!

♥ Tutorial: Half-Square Triangle Potholders ♥

I seem to always be on the lookout for tutorials involving quilting that I can handle. I don't have the time (oh who are we kidding? I don't have the patience) for long, drawn-out quilting lessons. I have the normal fantasies of any crafty woman, you know what I'm talking about...making my own quilts and giving them away at the holidays to friends and family members who oooo and ahhhh over them & tell me how amazed they are that I'm so crafty and talented. Yes, they envy my know-how. But no. It's not going to happen anytime soon. ;) I love the quilted look of these potholders and I think even I could make them! I have such a stash of fabrics I can imagine them now! Jeni at incolororder has an awesome tutorial on how you can make these too, so click the link and check it out. :)

Hope you're having a craft-astic Thursday!

♥ Tutorial: Gathered Round Basket ♥

photo from A Spoonful of Sugar

I found this cute fabric basket and had to share it! It's from A Spoonful of Sugar.  I could use about a dozen of these for sure. ;) It's such an easy pattern, even I can follow it. I love the strawberry fabric they used  I have tons of fabric, mostly with rose prints, as I readily admit I am a fabri-holic. :)
