Actually, I favor applique because it is not so exacting and I enjoy handwork--the charm of imperfection!<br />Love your porch vignette! I have only put a scarecrow out so far--son didn't plant the pumpkin seeds I bought, but didn't tell me that! We would have had some wonderful Cinderella and ghost pumpkins--now I'll have to buy them!<br /> By the way, I am coveting that brown transferware pitcher on your table! Gorgeous and perfect for autumn! I'll be checking ebay for something similar!<br />VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-86716258973477543152012-09-21T08:32:57.169-04:002012-09-21T08:32:57.169-04:00The display by the door has lots of colour and I l...The display by the door has lots of colour and I like the idea of a bakers rack too. I have one on the back deck and like changing up the shelves.<br />I don't sew or quilt so admire the runner you made. The only crafting I'm doing right now is making cards, years ago it was ceramics and I gifted many things back then.<br />Judith Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-57105830652410170112012-09-20T21:22:27.405-04:002012-09-20T21:22:27.405-04:00I'm not a quilter Vee so I think you did great...I'm not a quilter Vee so I think you did great to get one project finished!

I finished a lap quilt for a good friend who will turn 90 very soon and then immediately began a table runner which I finished this morning. And today I bought more backing so I could make more table runners for Christmas gifts. I do like the soft colours of your table runner!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-1076625546819796152012-09-20T20:25:07.809-04:002012-09-20T20:25:07.809-04:00I love your beautiful table runner!

(Remember, I'm the lady who was drooling over the small autumn display in Hobby Lobby...<i>in June!</i><br /><br />Your runner looks pretty, but I can relate to the concept that sometimes the "pretty" factor does not compensate for the time and effort and frustration and tedium of a project. I once made a basket, and decided that I could totally understand the term "basket case"! It was my first and only attempt.

I like the broad expanse and openness of it. You are right, a baker's rack would look great. But then you'd have to dust and de-cobweb it.
