Inspiration is out there!

First off, I just need to say a big "Thank You"

to Al Gore for inventing the Internet! (wink wink)

I don't know what I'd do without it!!!

I mean, I find so much inspiration

from so many wonderful bloggers!

This particular table runner was inspired

by Faye over at Carolina Stitcher :)

If you love cross stitch you HAVE to check our her blog!

I love that she used a finished cross stitch piece

and made a table runner out of it!

I was stuck in the

 "either make a pillow or have it framed" rut.

So I took my 3 finished pumpkin stitcheries

and looked through my fabric stash

and found these wonderful prints

from Robert Kaufman called "Nutmeg".

They matched perfectly!

The only problem I had is that they are 3 different sizes.

So I gave a 1/4" here and there

and made them look like they belong together.....

sort of :)

Since the fabric prints are so wonderfully busy already

I just did a simple "stitch in the ditch" machine quilting.

I bought this fabric to make myself a Thanksgiving apron

and luckily I still have enough left to do just that!

Win - Win!
