6 table runners for turkey day!

Thanksgiving is a little more than two weeks away...is the annual turkey dinner at your house this year? If it is, it's time to get started! (Not on your menu...save that for next week!)

Nope, it's time to get started on a harvest-themed table runner to dress up your table. We've searched the Internet and come up with 6 that we really like, along with some fabric recommendations. 

Happy sewing! And remember, the beauty of a table runner is that you can stitch it quickly--plenty of time to have it finished and on your table by November 27!

What's your favorite fall foliage color?

Autumn is in the air, and that means that we'll soon be enjoying the gorgeous fall colors as leaves change from green to gold, red, orange, and brown. 

Not content to simply wait for Mother Nature to begin her annual paint job, we've created "forests" of trees using some of our favorite fall collections.

What fall fabrics that we've shown catch your eye? What would you make with them?

A Peek Ahead

The official start of summer may be just around the corner, but today we're peeking ahead to fall with the rich harvest-y colors of our new Autumn in the Forest collection. 

Love the depth of this fabric--so many layers of silhouetted trees...just like an actual forest!

Great for landscape quilts or as a funky stripe on any quilt.

A blender full of possibilities...and it comes in six different colors! 

Ask for these fabrics at your local quilt shop--they're perfect for an autumn-themed quilt, or even a fall set of placemats and napkins or a table runner!
