FINALLY DONE AND ON TO FALL PLACEMATS

 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.

  1. 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!

  6. 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

  9. Wow, 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 :)

    It's great to see your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
