I have three shelves that are on the side of the island in my kitchen. I love the shelves and have used them for many different things over the years I have lived in my house. I have usually used tea towels as little runners on the shelves but wanted to make some little runners out of the same Simple Abundance fabric I used on the table runner for my buffet.
I decided to try making PINWHEELS. I have never made them before and after my first batch of 8, I was thinking I wasn't going to try making them ever again. They were tiny, and took forever to make. But after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that it doesn't really matter how long it takes me to make something, as long as I am having fun and maybe learning a few tricks or short cuts, I should do it. So I made 13 more pinwheels. It really was fun, a little tedius, but fun. I should have added a bit of a border, but I ran out of room. The runner would have gotten to big to fit on the shelf. Oh well, it still looks cute to me. Now on to the next one...

Very Cute! I don't know how you do it, I think I would go crazy! Very nice job, can't wait to see them in person.
SOOOO CUTE! Where did you get the pattern? I love it! Do you do your own quilting?
Charity!
I had a pattern for a quilt that had the tiny pinwheels. The quilt is much cuter than my runner, but it is also much bigger than my runner could be. I did "quilt" it myself. I stippled(sp?) it. It is really fun and easy. Glad you found my pics of my pinwheels!
