A Christmas Table runner and Thanksgiving Decor

Hello!
On the weekend I finished a new quilting project. There are lots of tutorials online for this quilt as you go table runner. I used this one. Her blog is great, many tutorials and beautiful pictures. I had made a similar table runner years ago,  but this one turned out a lot better. I am really happy with the results.

I made it to fit on this Ikea  storage trunk that I use as a coffee table.
It was easy to make. I used fabrics from my stash , cotton batting and a muslin back.

No Christmas decor for now, but I have some Thanksgiving decor to share.

 We made this Thankful garland other day. Just a bag of paper leaves from the 99 cents store and twine.

Brenda wrote things that she is thankful for on each leaf. A simple and meaningful craft.

I put my Halloween stuff away and out came other things.

This sweet pilgrim bear is from Bearington bears.

Some Indian corn. I love their colors and variety.

A Cherished Teddies mini plate.

Brenda loves this little Thanksgiving display .

Today I went to her school to teach the kids to make a little craft.

Her class loved to make Tom Turkey, this cute craft from Gooseberry Patch. They have the directions on their blog here . We make this craft with the cousins every Thanksgiving dinner. It is so cute!
One last thing, a gift I am putting together for a friend's girl  who turned ten years old.

Because she likes crafts, I got a cute craft book and some supplies that will help her on her craft adventures. A cool idea for Christmas, don't you think ?
Thanks for stopping by!

Ana Paula.
