I AM A GUEST AT "SEW WE QUILT" TODAY....

Sew yesterday I was at "SEW WE QUILT" and I saw this runner... Oh my gosh, it spoke to me.

I HAD to make it. I just HAD to. I had a friend coming over to sew yesterday....I know I said I had a lot of running around to do but she brought over what I needed...


so we played instead and this is what we made.

She wanted to work on the pleats (that is posted over at SEW WE QUILT) today. She did the pleating while I cut the fabrics out that we needed for this runner.




I love love love love...did I say love this? My friend had to leave before she could finish hers but I kept right on sewing.

Do visit SEW WE QUILT Today, I am showing easy pleats or ruffles for your towels or just anything you want to put a pleat or ruffle on and....and...I am giving away a free pattern as well. Hope to see you over there.

Those are both so cute! I like both versions of the trees but I guess my fav is the last...the ruffle really adds to it.
