Something for us!

I usually stay pretty busy making things for others but once in a while I throw in something for us.  This makes the Hubby very happy.

I made us a bedrunner! 

I finally found a crochet pattern for one that I really liked.  I tossed around the idea of making a quilted one and I actually found a few patterns that were interesting, but the idea of more patterns in our room just didn't appeal to me much.  I was thinkin' solid something, but with a pattern....sorta...I really didn't know what I was looking for.  Then I was surfing e-patterns central one day and I came across this pattern. 

 

Turquoise Bed Runner Pattern at e-Pattern Central

The picture was in turquoise and the pattern was actually named - Turquoise Treasure - but I could just picture it a soft gold color across the foot of our bed.  I found the exact shade and texture of yarn that I wanted and ended up ordering it from Joann Fabrics to make sure that I had enough from the same dye lot to do the job.  I used Red Heart Soft yarn in Honey. 

Here is the finished product!  It came out exactly as I pictured it would!  I just love it when that happens!!!!

My Version in Honey

15 skeins and many months later

It really ties the room together

I love the edge detail

I enjoyed making this and I was thrilled with the finished product. It was exactly what I was lookin' for....

That's all I got for today!  Thanks for stopping by!
