Getting out the Christmas - in September?

It seems so early, it's not even Halloween yet, but I'm getting my holiday items listed in my new Etsy store. This is my first year, so I'm a little nervous about how it's going to go!

Today I thought I'd show off my bed runners. For people who don't want to buy a large quilt, a bed runner is fun, decorative and festive!  Each bed runner is big enough to fit any size bed up to a king size.

Holiday Gifts has patchwork "gifts" with appliqued bows.  I quilted it in an allover holly pattern.

Holiday Squares has pretty green and red squares, quilted in feather designs and motifs.

Modern Stripes has offset stripes.  This was quilted in an allover spiral "ornament" design.

Woven Ribbons Quilt

Woven Ribbons is finished!  I usually design or adapt my own quilt patterns, but I purchased this pattern "Weave it to Me" by Judy Dohrman, and having the instructions made it much easier :) :)

The fabrics were part of fat quarter packages I had gotten at the Loving Stitches quilt shop.  Grey and yellow aren't my "colors", but the combination really turned out pretty!  The white background was a good contrast, and really set it off.

For the machine quilting, I just quilted in the ditch around the ribbons, and did a feather design around the border.  Between the border and the ribbons, and between the ribbons I did a fill of pebbles.

It makes a really pretty bed runner, or twin sized quilt!
