Frood's Christmas Swap

Because I am getting a little tired and burnt out - I decided I needed
to do something "just for fun"....

I was planning on using Wendy's Christmas swap to make a table runner
for my MIL. She always does the big Christmas dinner and has such a
gorgeous table... I was going to use a pattern, but this week, I
decided I needed to just do something mindless and fun so I decided I
would just make up my own "Sampler" design with stars. I have done one
star about every other day in between other stuff - just to remind
myself that sewing is for fun too, not just for necessity! LOL

I just wanted to share my fun with you guys. I am going to give it to
her for her birthday, which isn't until the day before mine, November
5..... but I figure if I start on it now, I may actually get it done in
time!

Hugs,
Tina

Those are beautiful, Tina.

Hey! I recognize those fabrics! The Santas were my contribution to the swap.
:-) I'm glad I could contribute to your fun, Tina. That's why I host the
swaps! Your blocks look great.

Tina, I love them! I just know your MIL will appreciate what you're
making her. How many stars will the table runner have?

Thanks all! I'm making 5 total stars for the table runner. And using
the scraps of the 10" swap squares to do a border.

Tina

She will love it. Very nice.
