Wrap It Up!

I just finished the last binding for my table runners. Yipee!! All of these table runners are Christmas presents! I am trying to do a homemade pledge that I first saw on Stephanie's blog during the summer. So far so good...but I still have a ways to go!



The pattern I used is by Heather Muler Peterson's Charmed and Dangerous. I like this book a lot! She has super cute patterns! The charm packs I used are Cotton Blossoms, Thimbleberries and Doll Dresses. And I have to say...I am pattin' myself on the back!



I made this ginormous bag for my sweet mom who is currently in a rehab facility. Our family hopes she will be home soon. When she gets home she will more than likely be wheelchair bound. So I made this bag to put on the back of her wheelchair. The chair certainly needs something cute on it don't ya think?

Instead of making shoulder straps I made tie straps so we can easily tie it to the back of the chair. Another pat on the back for me...I came up with that one on my own!



Now head on over to my friend Nanette's blog. She is having a week long Happy Anniversary Blog 7 days/ways to win giveaway. Just look...don't comment...'cause I really want to win! LOL!

Piece & Love,
Dawn

Beautiful table runners. What a great cheerful bag for your mom's wheelchair. I think wheelchairs should come in pink too.
