I took a class about three years ago and was instructed how to make this table runner. I really feel bad I can't remember the teachers name, her husband had made all of us the rulers (2 each) that are required to make this runner. I've been moving it from place to place not having time to quilt. So I'm off to a good start on working on UFO's this year. I wasn't so sure I like the Fairy Frost Fabric (the lightest blue) that was suggested I use, but after I quilted (meandered) over it I'm really pleased. I love making feathers so I've worked feathers in to the fern looking variegated blues, our kitchen looks down on the dinning room table so when the light is on the table the feathers really show up. I had wanted to use a binding the same as the dark blue, But it's some place hiding from me. Maybe that was good as I really think the fern fabric looks good as the binding. So now I've got a blue table runner that goes with the blue in the cushions of my dinning room chairs ..... It sure would be good if I would focused on my own work but so much fun quilting for other people too.
I'm working on a large double sized quilt now another UFO and I've almost finished that one too. I don't have a long arm so I'm doing this on my new Janome 7700 and I think we are getting along really good now? I like when I complete a project. It's such a good feeling, don't you think?
