For craft sales that is.
And in that mindset, I have been working on making a few extra items to round out my inventory for an upcoming sale next week. People aren’t always prepared to buy a baby quilt on a whim, but sometimes something smaller like a decorative table runner will catch their eye. So I sat down over the weekend and made this:

I have another similar one in progress that is quilted with red thread and will have a red binding edge. They’re so pretty that even if they don’t sell I won’t be too bothered. That’s the nice thing about making things that you like – you can always keep them 
You can also give them as gifts. I started my Christmas shopping ages ago. What about you? Time is flying by – the big day will be here before you know it!
I want to start Christmas shopping but I don’t know what people want! I need lists, plus I haven’t checked out any of the store sales and stuff. I need plan a bit … but I love Christmas shopping, and I love wrapping the gifts.
And I love your table runners … they’re very beautiful, and I’m very envious of your talent.

My family is pretty small so shopping isn’t too difficult – men aside that is. I haven’t a clue what to get my husband or my son for that matter. What is it about boys that makes shopping for them so hard?

The runner is beautiful!
