Coffee Table Runner

The Buttercup bag is so much fun to make, not to mention the need to use the piping foot, that I made a second one. I am debating some embellishments. Not that they particularly need it but I have all those beads. I have put an end to bead buying at least until I get these ones sorted and into some kind of storage container.



Today I started on a table runner for a coffee table. What better background than fabric that is dyed to look like spilled coffee stains. No worries if someone spills on this one, as long as it's not red wine!
You will notice the Australian landscape still sitting there waiting for some thread painting.

Buttercup Bag

This is the Buttercup Bag from Made By Rae. It seemed like a perfect project to try out my new piping foot, which worked perfectly. The only thing I would change is that I would use some heavy interfacing on the top piece. The fabric is one of my snow dyes. I may have to wait until next year to do more snow dyes. It looks like the snow is finally leaving us. Nobody is complaining.


Here is a close-up of the piping. I made it from a scrap of fabric that I had on hand. I may add some embellishments but I'm not sure it really needs anything else. But I do have all those beads....
