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.

    I saw that table runner, too, and saved it to my favorite places to try to make after I land in TX on the 17th! Thought it would be quick and easy and so, so cute. Off to check out Sew We Quilt to see what else you've been up to!!
