More weaving . . .

I really am having a wonderful time weaving these table runners/decoration mats!

My problem is that every one that I make, I want to keep or give away.

I have just listed four of them on my ETSY Store.

I am going to continue making them.

Seeing what weaves up on my loom is a process I love!

Each are woven with either a 100% cotton thread or a 

cotton/linen yarn and high quality Batik Fabric.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day! 

A new table runner!

For a while now, I have been wanting to weave a table runner

using fabric. I have read a lot of information that is available on the Internet

as well as in some of my books and including purchasing patterns. Never felt quite

comfortable in taking the plunge. BUT, I finally did! 

I am really glad I did the research ~ no one resource
had all of the answers, tips or techniques.

My suggestion for anyone who wants to make one of these is to simply do it!

I am so happy I finally put away my fear in making this.

Will I make another? YOU BETCHA!!!!!!

Have a marvelous day and thanks for looking!

More on the way . . .

I really am enjoying weaving my own fabric and turning it into beautiful

decorative home decor pieces. Here is the latest!

So relaxing and it really does make up fast!

When all of this started . . .

I was "Spring" cleaning and changing out my decor when

I happened upon this penny rug.

This was my very first penny rug I designed and, I have to say

that after all of this time, it has really held up well.

I tried to replicate it a few years ago and couldn't find the exact colors

that I had originally used. So I went looking for similar

colors and found some that were close enough. I will say though, even now,

not all of the second choice colors are available.

I have had custom order requests for this design and even though I designed this

in 2008, it's is becoming a "classic" and I believe will

be a pattern that can be used years to come regardless of using

the colors I had originally used.

designed by Mary Elizabeth Martin/Pinetree Studios

Two colors choices

I am happy to say that this pattern is still going strong

and can be found at our ETSY Store.

Thanks for looking and have an awesome day!

Falling Maple Leaves Collection

Almost every time I offer a new pattern I say it’s my favorite and this time is no different.

I absolutely love the fall. This collection speaks to me of all of the things

I love about Autumn;  the colors, the smell of apple and pumpkin pie,

the changes in temperature, the way I feel like I can just slow down a bit.

This Falling Maple Leaves Collection includes Coasters, "Whatever" Mats and a Twirlie

and was made from National Nonwovens Woolfelt.

"Whatever" Mats . . .

I just can not believe how quickly the days have passed!

I have been so busy creating new designs ~ I have completely lost track of the time!

So, what have I been doing? Keep on reading ~ here is ONE new concept.

Penny Rug? Decorative Mat? Coaster? Mug Mat?

It's a "Whatever" Mat. 

Whatever you need to use it for, under a candy dish, a vase, a mug, a candle, whatever . . .

The “Whatever” Mats are meant to be a smaller version of the “traditional” sized penny rugs. 

Because of their size, I believe they are more versatile for decoration purposes.

Have a long dining table like I have? . . . make several and place them down the middle

of the table instead of one long runner. They are also the perfect size for narrow tables,

end tables, night stands, book shelves, whatever . . . ;)

Midnight Harvest Run

This "Whatever" Mat was made using Wool and Floss from Weeks Dye Works

This piece is part of a Bunnies "Whatever" Mat Collection.

I have really enjoyed working on this collection. As a bonus for purchasing this e-pattern 

in my ETSY Store I have included the templates for two more designs,

Springtime Run (Bunnies and Flowers) and Easter Run (Bunnies and Eggs). 

Each measures approximately 8.5" x 8.5" 

More to come soon!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
