Charming Ruffles

Spring brings out the "country romantic" girl in me. I have been having so much fun making pretty gingham and floral things that make me happy.


I made a pillow for cuddling with in front of the T.V. and it is already becoming a favorite!


It will also be nice to use outside in this beautiful weather!


Lacie shows off how her dress matches the new pillow...


I also made a new table runner--I can never have too many ruffles on the table!



I just love it--a puddle of ruffles on the table!



This fabric is one of my favorites. I got it about a year ago..it is called Durham Anew Fall '11. I added the pink gingham to it (found it at Goodwill and I think the color is perfect).

I have done a few projects with this fabric collection...


Basket Remake


Fabric backed bookcase

I want to make lots of pillows for the house in different fabric collections I love. I adore fabric--especially pink florals with aqua.

It is so much fun to make something pretty with a favorite fabric!




I hope this finds everyone taking time to enjoy spring! The weather here in Oregon is just beautiful right now!


Thanks for visiting!

    I love everything you have made with this beautiful fabric. Lacie's dress is my favorite though. But that's probably because you made that for me lol :) . The table runner turned out great!! I had forgot about the cute basket you made, it's soooo cute!!!

    What a pretty post. I love the table-runner with the puddle of ruffles. So cute with your ball jars. I love cushions and pillows too and especially on outdoor furniture. Yours is very pretty.

    Sandy,
    That Lacey looks so sweet. She is the happiest dog I have ever seen. What a sweetheart. I love all the ruffles you did a great job.

    Oh Sandy it's all so pretty, I'm in the mood to make too at the moment. When I get off here,I'm going straight to my sewing room. I must admit I've been trying not to buy any more fabric,but after seeing yours I feel like going out and getting some pretty stuff. My stash is getting very low and I've used all the best stuff. :)

    You started sewing when you were very young, and have become an expert at creating beautiful table runners, pillows, doggie dresses, etc. I'm so happy that Annie and I get to be some of your recipients.
