autumn color...

i loooove autumn!

~~~

i love the colors,

the cooler weather outside,

the coziness inside...

i love all of that

about autumn.

~~~

i love to decorate for autumn!

~~~

i sewed this runner last fall

from some fabric i had around.

~~~

i was inspired to make this runner

by an old rug i have

made of

strips of fabric scraps

sewn together.

~~~

i love these autumn

prints and colors together!

~~~

to put this runner together,
i simply tore the length
of the 2 fabrics
into varying widths
(1-3 inches)
and then randomly sewed
the varying widths
(one strip of each print)
together.
~~~
i sewed the strips of 2
into 4,
so on and so on...
until it was as wide
as i wanted it.
~~~
i then sewed on
a muslin backing
to finish the runner.
~~~
my autumn runner
hangs
over the back
of the wooden bench
inside our back door,
warmly greeting
friends and family
with it's autumn color!

wishing you autumn color!
