Christmas projects

I finished my second Christmas table runner over the weekend. I'm not sure if I like one better than the other! They're both so similar. They measure 16" X 40". I started quilting the baby quilt on the longarm so I'll quilt these after that. I have no idea how I'll be quilting them but I'll figure it out eventually!


I have 4 sides done for the cross stitch gingerbread house ornament. It's hard to see but I added beads and buttons to enhance the cross stitching. I have to work on the roof next. It's just one piece of felt but I have to add beads and thread to make it look like it's quilted. I don't usually make crafts so this is a little different for me. I never think of sewing or cross stitching as crafts. Maybe I'll become more crafty!! Haha!!

    1. I need to start early or else I never get things made in time for the holiday. I'll definitely post a picture when it's done.
