I have found lately that I have been kept busy with designing projects for magazines and have not had much time to sew just for fun! Yesterday I was between projects and decided to put my time to good use.
First up I made a table runner for our meals table. I couldn’t decide which fabric to use so made it double sided –
One side with some lovely Park Slope fabric that I have been saving for a special project
and on the other some Hot Blossom, Robert Kaufman. I like my home wares to be fairly plain so just teamed the fabrics with some natural linen.
I also made up a Lavender Trivet based on the one designed by Rashida from I Heart Linen in the latest Stitch magazine. I used some Modern Meadow teamed with linen. I think I will take this to work to cheer up my work station – the Lavender smells divine!
Lovely, lovely fabric choices!
Beautiful projects. I love them all. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m so glad you’ve had some time for personal sewing, I love both creations.
Love the reversible table runner, and I can just imagine how lovely the Lavender Trivet smells! Always nice to do something just for yourself.

These are such lovely projects, Lisa. I really love the pairing of the bold prints with the subtle linen–my style too. :o) I can almost smell that lavender from the trivet…mmm… Happy Weekend ((HUGS))
I am coveting your table runner Lisa it’s gorgeous.
Those are great projects.
Love that Hot Possum fabric. Your table runner looks perfect. I bet it was fun doing something for yourself.
Love the mix of linen with a bold print. Park Slope is one of my favorite lines.
I love the trivet! The fabrics look great combined with the linen, its simplicity really shows them off.
I love the table runner. Beautiful colors.
What a great idea to make your table runner reversible. Smart lady. I really like both sides. They are both very different from each other. Fun!
Lovely bit of sewing there-great idea the double sided idea
I love how simple and modern your table runner is. I bet you will use it all the time, especially since you made it reversible, and can change it as the mood strikes you.
That Park Slope fabric is dreamy. I love how it looks on your table. I bet that trivet smells dreamy, too. Have a great week, Lisa.
Beautiful fabrics in your runner. Very clever to make it reversible.
Your trivet must smell devine! Yes, the perfect thing to perk up a workspace!
You create the most beautiful crafts! I’ve just loved looking at all your ideas for Mothers Day gifts! You WOW me! Wendy xx

Lovely way to decorate your home.

really like the table runner!
did yo put anything in between the fabrics like batting?
I love the fabrics that you used. They are great! The 2 sided table runner is such a good idea!
Very, very pretty Lisa! Isn’t it wonderful to get time to sew just for you?
Wow LIsa, when you decide to work .. you surely produce a great deal of incredible items! Love the runners!
I just got some pretty home decor remnants – maybe a reversible runner like that is in my future. Since my DR table has a curve to the ends, I like the idea of a runner shaped more like an extra-long placemat. Thanks for the idea.
Very pretty projects: the trivet is going on my do to list. I have a bag of lavender just waiting to be used!
