The Christmas cards are made and we got the tree up yesterday, but that's about it Christmas-wise. I'm hoping to hit the loft today and see what's up there that I still want to put in my house. Am I the only one who sorts through the Christmas decorations each year and goes "What was I thinking?"? At least this is an excuse for new stuff...
In August I posted about the Holly Jolly charm squares I fell in love with and just had to have. I'd never bought charm squares before and now know why. What on earth do you do with 37 different 5" squares? While I was still pondering a solution 3 months later, the amazing Monica came up with one.
And here it is...
the Jingle Jolly runner.
It matches the family room curtains just perfectly!

It does indeed match perfectly and I love the whole thing. The colors are a glorious celebration of this season and life in general. Makes me happy just looking at your photos.
ReplyDeleteIts so happy!!!! I love the colors together! I am going to the quilt shop today to look for those fabrics- I hope they still have some!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny about the curtains! I love the designs and the colors. I now have 4 rooms in my house that sport Ikea curtains.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your tablerunner. I went over and printed out the pattern. Like I have time for that right now but it sure would be fun.
I love your table-runner. I have two packages of charm squares (different ones) and this is really a wonderful idea to use them! (I saw those curtains on Kathy’s blog today, funny...!)
ReplyDeleteI have totes of Christmas stuff that I have looked at this year and thought, really do I need to put that up or why do I keep this. Needless to say, a lot of the stuff has not been put up because I don't care for it anymore or it is not how I am envisioning Christmas this year. The jolly jingle runner is very nice.
ReplyDeletecute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love it and I love your curtains too. And the cat, I love the cat as well. So much to love in this post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Table Runner. And What a Jolly name for it!
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful! I just bought some of those same fabrics this past weekend. they are beautiful, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteIt does match perfectly! Every so often I think, oh that charm pack looks lovely I should buy it. Then I think about reality & realize I wouldn't have any idea what to make with any of it:)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely adding that table runner on my list of things to make. Thanks so much for sharing it and the link.
ReplyDeleteWow. Love those curtains (as well as the Jingle Jolly). :-)
ReplyDeleteThe runner looks great. I love the Holly Jolly fabric. I used it to make all the Christmas stuff for my Etsy shop. It is just so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and cheerful and skillful and you are so productive-ful... an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love 5 inch squares. I have made so many projects this year with them, and I love the challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour jingle jolly runner is fantastic!
I LOVE your Jingle Jolly Anina! I love, love, love the red and the polka-dots. And I love your curtains too (Ikea?). Ok... so can I just move into your house???
ReplyDeleteWonderful combo of fabrics and pattern!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the runner AND the curtains!! xox
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the Jingle Jolly runner. The bright fabrics are awesome and the piecing almost makes it look 3D.
