TABLE RUNNERS AND DOGGY PLACEMATS

 I have spent this past week doing pretty much just making table runners for my guild's January quilt show boutique.  Nothing really new just major sewing, quilting, and binding them.  

I have a bit of an assembly line going.  I really want to get this chore done and move on.  

This is the pile of completed ones waiting for me to finish them by hand sew the binding down.  Unfortunately I also another 7 left to start putting together.  But then I am done.  

This is our little Yorkshire Terrier Zoey.  My next project is for her to make some placemats.  Earlier in the year our area had an overtake of ants.  Everyone had issues with them, outside and inside.  Pest control did no good what so ever for anyone.  Zoey's didn't gobble up her breakfast, she liked to come and go all day with a nibbles here and there.  Unfortunately the ants decided her food was yummy.  Zoey found her bowl full of ants and declared she was never going to eat out of a bowl again.  The ant issue has since been eliminated, but Zoey refuses to eat anything out of a bowl now.  We usually put her bowl on a placemat, so found that if we just dumped the kibble on the placemat she would eat it, and she did decide to eat it all up right then and there to avoid the ants.

OK, yes she is a spoiled dog.  At a recent Hobby Lobby fabric shopping trip, husband saw these dog themed fabrics, and I have been assigned to make some placemats for Zoey.  We have had a few special themed mats for her in the past, but now mats have to be washed everyday rather than only changing them every few days.  That is 7 mats a week, I had better start sewing.

  4. We all spoil our furry friends, don't we? It should be a law. Very cute little dog prints.

  5. Ants in your food is never a fun thing. Maybe a plate would be acceptable rather than a bowl? Though if the place mats work, that's fix too. Good luck finishing up all your "have to do" stitching so you can get back to the fun of stitching on your "want to do projects".

  9. That's one pampered pooch. :) No doubt you will have fun ogling the fabric as you stitch the placemats. You look right on target for finishing up the table runners for the guild event. Those table runners should be snapped up.

  15. Hi Donnalee, I hope you'll have a good time making doggy mats. Do you think she might eat out of a plate? Good luck and thanks for linking up to FM Mavericks.
