    Well--some are ready. Most need something still, but I wanted to show you what I've been up to. The forum has given me so much help! I've learned about Insul-bright, grommets, steam a seam...and have used it all. Thank you to everyone who has answered my questions and come to my aid!!

    If anyone has price ideas for anything-I'd appreciate the input. I know what the price is on the first table runners... but nothing else.

    Table runners. I love these colors! I made two shorter for a centerpiece idea--my daughter said shorter would work better for us, so why not others. This is the last of this pattern.





    Another table topper from those strip leftovers. I like this one too--might not make it into the sale. :wink:



    Thanks to Lisa--the book marks look better. I may put Homespun yarn in there for a tassel.





    There are four doll blankets like these--three with blue facing center. I'll show the backs too. Just need quilting.



    Backs--all from stash.


    Bigger hot pads. I love the daisy one--but the panel didn't come square--tricky to work with. Just need quilting.



    Backs


    This pile was the biggest pain in the neck! I made a huge mistake and didn't turn them inside out. :roll: So, everything needed a binding. It took a long while. :shock: They are quilted, just need that binding sewed--they're pinned now. These were cut up from a panel.



    Pretty on the back, too. :wink:


    The next step is to finish all these up. I ahv to work more on a ragged flannel for a gift. Once school starts I'll stick to bookmarks, ornaments, and Mark's CW quilt. Whew.

    I love your beautiful little fabric coasters!

    I have a whole pile of craft show sale stuff too. We make mostly the same thing (because they sell the most) and that's table toppers.

    We make the twisted star table toppers all the time. I'm sick of making them.

    We have one coming up the first Saturday of October.
