These table runners were a result of the scraps from cutting out another project. You can see my process of making them in this blog post ;) These were so much fun to make. I don't often just start stitching without an end plan, but it was a really great exercise in just seeing where it goes and a whole lot of fun, once I got myself to stop worrying about what it would turn out like in the end.
The fabrics are Desert Bloom by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda and I just love the wonderful fall colors and prints!!! They just warm you up inside, and considering I took these pictures in -3 degrees outside, I could seriously use the warming up ;)
I quilted these with some simple matchstick straight-ish lines. This was the first time I tried matchstick quilting on the long arm and I just loved it!!! It was so fast and so, so, much fun. And I just love the wonderful yummy texture it adds to the tops ;)
Now I just have to wait about 10 months to use them ;) I guess I will just say I am super prepared for Fall 2017!!!
Have a Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
Why don't you use them on a day that's dark and dreary???? It would brighten the room!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd use them every day for the next 10 months - they're so stylish. Love the dark coloured stripes in them too - makes the colours really stand out.
ReplyDeleteI would use those all of the time!
ReplyDeleteI'm with everybody else. Perfect for every day of the year. And I love the colors you ended up combining :)
