Sew & Tell - Amy Butler's Challenge

I was very excited when I read about the Amy Butler's challenge on Amylouwho, and I wanted to participate. Small problem though: I barely had any Amy Butler's fabrics. I am just not such a huge fan, and my fabric stash is still quite modest.

However, I had bought a charm pack of Love thinking that I might make a table runner for my fabric cabinet with it someday. The challenge made that day come much faster than was planned! And I am glad it motivated me to complete one more project. You can't see because the pictures are awfully dark on this rainy morning, but this runner adds a great spark of colors to my craft room.

I did not have enough time to buy more Amy Butler fabrics though (because I have to order it from the US), so I cheated and used a Denyse Schmidt print for the borders and some random dots for the backing and binding.

Be sure to check the whole extravaganza and comment for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

Happy sewing!
