Something a little different

I have pulled the fabrics for my December Island Batik scrappy table runner challenge. I hope to get at it later this week or early next week.  Island Batik included this coordinating Alpine Ice bundle in the box I received from them in July.  It is one of the newly released fabrics at Fall Market.



I got to thinking I wanted to have a coordinating wall hanging to go with the snowman runners.  He needs to be quilted and faces yet, but it felt really good to do something a little different for a change.  The snowman runners are still going good on Etsy so I continue to make more.  I was at JoAnns over the weekend and helped them empty out a few bolts of gray fabrics.  The favorite clerk says 'What are you doing with all the grays you keep coming in for', so someday I need to take one in for show and tell.  

Linking with Susan for her 100th Midweek Makers linky party!   Won't you come join in the fun!!

  1. Hi Vicki,
    Those snowmen-to-be look like popsicles with their sticks pointing at each other. I'm not sure what flavor they'd be in white but that what the remind me of without their faces. This is a great addition to the table runners! I'm so glad to hear they are still going strong on Etsy. They should be - they are so cute. ~smile~ Roseanne

  6. The new wallhanging is going to be just delightful once you get their faces completed. Are you going to make them wonky looking, like going every which way?

  7. I can imagine you are enjoying sewing with some different fabrics. I would go absolutely BONKERS sewing the same thing so many times in spite of how cute they are. :)
