Sew happy times spent crafting......

My sister moved into her new house and wanted two runners to put on her two granddaughters beds when they came to stop. The only instruction I was given ..... they must be pink! I could have sewn a couple of plain ones but hey why be boring, especially when they were for the wee ones.
I had been particularly struck with a quilt with a house applique design by my favourite sewing crafter Helen Phillips' book ... " Pretty Patchwork Gifts "
which I adapted for this project. I also thought that a house design was apt as a house warming present. The photos of the finished runners on beds were sent to me by my sister.

And I also gave her a lovely old glass jar (not shown) and painted this door knob as its top for her new home.

This door knob I painted and kept as a new handle for my own shed door. B. repainted the shed in summer.
