Scrappy Pumpkin Table Runners and Pillow Covers

I am enjoying working on seasonal projects and using up stash at the same time!

I found an easy pumpkin tutorial shared by Amy Smart and it has been fun to make!

I am making two table runners to fit two different cabinets in my home.

I am also making two different pillow covers for the couch.

I added enough black squares (great to use them up) to make them the size that I need for the pillow forms that I have.

On to the not so fun part; making batting the sizes that I need from the scraps that I have.

Frankenbatt…appropriate for the season!

Be My Valentine Table Runner

Be My Valentine

Be My Valentine table runner by Cherry Guidry was a fun squirrel project to make!

I knew this table runner would be a great fit for my large cabinet!

Of course, one wouldn’t have to make it this big. One could sew just a couple of hearts for the size needed (my finished size turned out to be about 16.25″ x 63″).

The quilting doesn’t really show up on the back, not just because I haven’t washed this yet (for the texture), but because the backing that I chose is a busy print.

This project was a very enjoyable break away from the computer (genealogy, ya know)!

Cherry has a wonderful website called Cherry Blossoms…you might like to check it out!

Tulip Placemats

While internet surfing, I came across a cute tulip tutorial by Kristina at Center Street Quilts.

If I sewed three tulip blocks to make one placemat, the size would be 15″ x 18″…exactly the size of my accent tables (I have two of them…his and her’s you know)!

I wanted to get this made last month, to replace the Valentine placemats that are still on my tables.

I don’t have to decorate ‘in season’, do I?

One day, I might have enough seasonal table toppers/placemats to decorate in a timely manner.

That’s the goal.
