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!

Pre-Quilted Fabric Spotlight

We like to think that we're pretty well-known for our pre-quilted fabric--a great shortcut for sewing bags and other home dec items. And of course, when we hear about someone using this specialty fabric, we love to pass it along to you, our blog readers!

Judy Hansen, owner of Quilt Shop of Deland and one of our designers, recently shared this photo from a recent retreat. These ladies used the Sebago Tote pattern from Aunties Two and our pre-quilted fabric to make themselves brand-new colorful totes!

What a great looking group!

Want to see some of our pre-quilted fabric? Here's a sampling.

Totally Topaz

When you hear the word "topaz," what do you think of first? November's birthstone?

A gorgeous gem, certainly, but we'd like the idea of topaz to bring something different to mind, namely our new fabric line.

Introducing the Topaz collection, done in richly colored reds, browns, golds, and corals, with just a touch of gilded metallic. This on-trend palette is perfect for a bedroom makeover (if you don't believe us, just check out these similarly colored bedding ensembles from Pottery Barn)!

A close-up look at a few favorites:
