Quilting: Christmas runner
25 kudoz

Christmas runner

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional


What was your inspiration?

I saw a photo similar to this online and I adapted it to make a matching pair of table runners.

What are you most proud of?

This really was a very quick and easy project and. I was able to use up a bunch of scraps from my Christmas stash. When I made these I knew only one free motion quilting stitch - meander, of course. After Cindy Needham's class I'm thinking of going back an filling in most of the white center section with scribbling and trying to make the quilted holly leaves stand out more distinctly. I need to wait to get my sewing machine back from the repair shop first, though, so it won't be this weekend. lol

I'm going to try to make a pattern for it. I have tons of Christmas scraps and this quilt is really very, very simple.

Oh - wow! It's lovely - I don't have a Christmas table runner, but after seeing this, I wish I'd taken the time to make one. However, if I had, I don't think it would have been anything like as striking as yours!

So pretty! Love the holly appliqu and quilted design. Too bad about your sewing machine being in the shop - always hard.

Thank you so much! Fortunately, I have a great backup machine for all of my straight stitching.

This is fabulous just as it is but I will look forward to seeing it when you do some more FMQ on the centre. Loving the holly:)

Thanks, desna. I really do wonder how much difference it will make to have more quilting and I'll be sure to share.
