I have been having withdrawals from my sewing machine lately. I had a couple of hours free yesterday and wanted a quick project to undertake. Sarah suggested that we needed a new table runner in our meals area and that it needed to incorporate some red polka dots.
I had a look through my stash and made up the table runner using some Joel Dewberry Damask (thanks Janelle!), a strip of black Authentic, and of course the obligatory dots. Looks great on the table – I really should make up a whole lot more of these in different combinations.
While I was busy sewing, Sarah made up a big batch of her Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookies (recipe from Martha Stewart Cookies). She packaged some up to give to a friend.
I love the bakery bags with their window that we bought in Japan. I wished I had of bought more – they are perfect for giving home baked goodies.
Great colours / prints on the table runner …. how clever are you girls!!!
What an elegant table runner! The cookies look wonderful too.
Yes I love the runner too ! I could do with one of those bickies now .
bicies and runners – all look great………..
I just love the fabric combination you used for the table runner!
Lisa everything looks so enticing and the packaging of the biscuits is just divine.
In my humble opinion, EVERYTHING looks better with red polka dots!
