Blue & Yellow Tablerunner

In January I pieced a tablerunner for my friend Nathalie and forgot to take a picture before we delivered it to Calico Point for long arm quilting. They said it would probably be the first of April when it would be finished.

Last Friday afternoon I got a call from Calico Point, the runner was quilted! Nathalie picked it up and dropped it off at my house for binding.

This time I remembered to take pictures before I sent it home with her. There is snow for the background since we had snow overnight last Friday.



Here are sideway pictures. The individual stars finish at 12". The tablerunner itself is 20" by 75".

The first two stars . . .

The center star . . .

Right side stars . . .


The quilting shows nicely on the backing fabric. Gray thread was used for the quilting

Nathalie texted me a picture of the runner on her dining room table. This was supposed to be a gift for someone but now she's reconsidering and may keep it for herself.

I did not have a pattern for this project, I made it up as I sewed.

  3. Dear Gretchen,

    Beautiful table runner, you have inspired another to make one more. The craft will thrive because of your. Thank you. We are waiting for spring to come and we have noticed buds in our tree in the back yard. Always nice to see, especially when we have snow still on the ground.
