Mostly Manor Table Runner

Here's a table runner I made to give to my cousin who will be getting married this July.  My mom and I also gave her a Big Star quilt with matching fabric, similar to this one I made for another cousin. 






I just love the floral fabric with this collection, the colors are gorgeous.  I used a large hexagon template and this fabric is just perfect for fussy cutting.  The stripe is another great fabric.  It's wonderful how the different directions are printed into the pattern so you don't have to piece it to get variety.  And look at this backing fabric, another winner.  Just can't get enough of this line. 


Made a few bowl potholders to give as well.  Used a Cotton + Steel print for these.  I always stick a little tag on these explaining what they are in case they haven't seen these before.  I was happy that I had one that matched the fabric so well!  You can find the free pattern here


I really enjoy making these handmade gifts.  The process is fun and it's nice to give something unique.  What's your go-to handmade gift?
