Dimestore-August Schnibble

This month's pattern for Another Year of Schnibble is Dimestore. I wasn't sure about the pattern at the beginning of the month but ended up loving it. I wish I had had another charm pack to make the wall hanging but I was using a leftover charm pack called Stars and Coxcomb. I love the fall colors. I had just enough scraps of the background fabric to make this table runner for fall. I will enjoy using it on my table this fall. My project needed to be finished today as we are suppose to be bringing home a 4 month old German shepherd puppy tomorrow. She was suppose to come home next Monday or Tuesday so i am scrambling to figure out what to do with her on Sunday and Monday as we take our oldest back to college.

Visit  Sinta or Sherri to see the parade of Schnibbles.

Paper piecing is difficult for me. I loved the bowl pattern when I first saw it so I decided to give it a try. Once I got the directions figured out (the first part of the pattern took me an hour with a lot of seam ripper time) it went together fairly quickly. These bowls remind me of my grandmother's kitchen. It has an old time feel to it. I really enjoyed making this pattern and am glad that I persevered. Regina definitely has a great pattern and this is a very interesting blog hop to be a part of. This was my first blog hop to participate in.
