Since I start getting in the Christmas spirit the day after Halloween by playing my Johnny Mathis and Vince Guaraldi playlist, I pulled the Joy by Kate Spain charm pack from the pile:
and whipped up this table runner after sewing 9 patches of the charms and then cutting them in the "Disappearing 9 Patch" style.
Quilting was just a medium-size stipple, backing and binding are old (8-10+ years!) Christmas stash fabric I was happy to use up.
I'd like to say my holiday decorating is done, but I think the kids will expect a tree at some point.
How are you getting into the Spirit of the Season....or are you holding off for as long as possible?

I am feeling the need to make a mantle scarf for over our fireplace, but everything else is the expected decorations that I will make the kids help haul up from the basement *after* Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy son and his new girlfriend will decorate our tree on Friday. I'm glad to hand this task over to them!
ReplyDeleteWow that is gorgeous! I might just have to run out and buy a Christmas charm pack
ReplyDeleteCute table runner. No decorations yet, unless you call the two flameless candles I bought over the weekend for the mantle.
ReplyDelete. When I attempted the book strategy I constantly wound up missing the mark on race day which transformed me into a hot-sprinter!
