I finished the Mastiff table runner. Yes, it was a bit of a challenge. The eyes in particular. I do appliqués all the time, but for some reason these were a bit of an issue. Thank goodness I increased the appliqué pattern to 165%. I cannot imagine doing eyes smaller as it was.
This is Lisa my oldest daughter's adorable pup that put in motion this runner.
I moved on to some very simple placemats for our dinner table. I have two done and two more to go, but these two are already on the table. It had been a very long time since I made placemats for myself. Super simple and fast.My youngest daughter has a peeking Tom. The peacocks keep wondering around the house and peeking in the windows. I think they are looking for treats.
Your tablerunner turned out great, and looks just like the pup! I like making placemats, too. It took me awhile to convince my husband they could be used and were washable, though! The peeking peacocks are a hoot!
ReplyDeletePeacock! :) Great table runner - I can see why the eyes were a little tricky.
ReplyDeleteyou are just the best mom around!!
ReplyDeleteWell done!!! You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteThe runner turned out beautifully, and I really like the placemat colors.
ReplyDeleteLove your tablerunner! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Hi Donnalee! OMG - the look on the really Mastiff puppy's face is priceless. He is chill, relaxed, and doesn't have a care in the world. Why on earth did you bother him to take a photo?! He obviously had other, more important things to do. LOVE how the runner turned out!! HAHAHAHAHA! A peeking Tom! Yessssssss, what can we help you with??! Thank you for the giggles and for linking up this week. ~smile~ Roseanne

The table runner and the placemats are great! Beautiful! Hello little Mastiff guy. I would love to have peacocks peeking in at us! Have a great Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a beauty, as are all your craftworks! The peacock reminds me of wild ducks that came to our pond and learned to peck on the window for food :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
Hi Donnalee, what a wonderful runner. It's so sweet. Take care.

ReplyDeleteOh My gosh!!! if that table runner doesn't look like its pup!!! that is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner is amazing ... sure to please! Love the picture of the actual dog too. He looks perfectly satisfied with the job you did too! Silly peacocks!
