    I made wallhanging for most holidays. I also use tablerunners every day so I seem to make a lot of them. You can never have too many. I use a table runner on my kitchen table, hall table, and sometimes on my coffee table. It's fun to decorate my house with all the quilts I have made.

    I love fall colors so tend to buy more of those.
    Decided to only make quilts that fit over the back of my sofa. My daughter likes that idea too.
    So seasonal quilts will be great for that.

    I have done some for Winter and Fall. This is one I call "It Must Be October". It's still in progress.

    Donnajean, your Halloween wall hanging is spectacular!! You have a wonderful talent.

    I make quilts I like, not for a particular season. I've made a few seasonal wall hangings, table runners, and I could see doing a table cloth/table topper. Why make a quilt to be stored away most of the year?

    But the Halloween quilts are cute.

    Not my designs. I'm not that talented. I used purchased patterns.

    I love making placemats, table runners and bed runners as gifts. They are not so large that the cost and work keep me from sharing my work with friends and family. That being said, I slowly am making quilts to give to them too. It is just so dang expensive!

    I did save a couple runners for us. I enjoy having the main table decorated for the season. Have you all seen the great decorator bed pillows they are selling now? I plan on making some to give. Check out steinmart on line, or crate and barrel. So cute! The pillow graphic images vary from bicycles to giraffe's. Mine in my room are robin's.

    They are on the to do list, am now making purse bottoms for different seasons and OU football and Thunder basketball. I made the purse out of Simplicity #2676, love it, but next one will add a zipper compartment.
