Christmas Table Runner

I just finished this table runner for our Etsy shop, and I was so pleased with how it tuned out, I had to post it here, too.

I did the quilting. The first time I dared use my free-motion foot to do any quilting. Yes, you can see some flaws, but overall I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

Showing the underneath side of the runner and the binding. So fun!

The worst picture ever. Lighting and angle are horrid, but I wanted to show the full monty.

This is my favorite view. Draped over my kitchen chair. (Please ignore my dirty grout. It needs to be cleaned again.)

See that plate? My sweet mother-in-law gave me a set of those snowflake plates. So perfect for the winter season!

Table Runner - French General in Red

I saw this fabric and had to buy yards and yards of it. OK, maybe not that much, but I bought enough of it to do a table runner for my sweet mother-in-law (to match her new awesome red wall in her kitchen) and one to sell in our shop. Here are the pictures for you all to drool over. I know, right? Who knew I could actually do this? I used Quiltsmart interfacing to do the pumpkin seeds, and appliquéd circles on to make it look like centers to flowers. I added a sashing/border, and folded the back up over the front to finish it. I even did my own machine quilting. Hooray! I love projects that end up so beautifully.

 I'm also going to be in Bountiful, Utah tomorrow (Saturday, July 31) at an  Artisan Fair trying to sell things from our shop, so if you're in the Bountiful area, come see me (and all of our cool stuff) in person.
