   That Showoff Bag is adorable! I also have my AMH Tiles top done, but haven’t basted or quilted yet. Better get on that! I really like all of these trends! Especially the wool outerwear and the Halloween embroidery projects – if only there were about 4 more hours to a day!

    The crop circles table runner is way back on my “to sew” list. This second reminder might just mean I need to move it closer to the top!

    I love the table linens idea especially. They made me wonder why on earth I have plain solid cream napkins still!

    @Foster-if you ever want to “adopt” a kid to sew for, my son wears a 3T, lol.
