Table runner

My best friend is moving out of town so I wanted to make her a present for the new house. And what a perfect opportunity to play with my new sizzix die! I'd seen a quilt using this this applecore die a while back and fancied having a play with it, so when I saw the die in a store I had to buy it. Handily, the sizzix website has instructions for this table runner so that helped.

I used fabrics that I bought ages ago from the V&A quilts exhibition in 2010. They are floral ... well, leafy and are from Liberty.

And I enjoyed this make. It took some time as the curves are a bit tricky but it was quite satisfying.

And my friend seemed to like it too, which is a bonus!

Quick Christmas make

Just a quickie I made whilst watching a DVD. I cut two snowmen from white felt using my Sizzix machine them embroidered the features onto one side. A simple running stitch to hold front and back together, a ribbon and a little toy stuffing.

Cute right?
