I recently finished this little runner for my kitchen table. It was supposed to be for February/Valentines Day. Well, yes, it is a few months late, but at least it is completed and not hanging around my sewing room any more!
The pink, red and orange color scheme came from the dishes above the table. When we built our home several years ago, I just had to have a plate shelf.
I designed the flower appliques. And I used fusible web to attach them and finished off the edges with a satin stitch. I did very little piecing for the background as the fabric was already printed with 1 inch stripes. I finished it off by quilting around the flowers with my signature free-hand feathers.
This was one of those “just for me” projects that I rarely get to.
Unfortunately, I picked the wrong time of day to get a good picture, but you get the idea.
Love the table runner. Compliments the plates perfectlyl

I do not know what I am more envious about – the lovely windows or the very pretty quilt with the beautiful quilting. I have started a quilt today after more than 2’years of not sewing and I am all thumbs. Wish me luck!

Pink IS my favorite color. I really can’t get away with putting it on the walls or have a pink sofa. So this little runner was a good way to get my pink “fix”!

Love the runner…love the way you did the flower appliques. I’ve been trying to talk my husband into building an addition with lots of windows for a studio. For now, I just love looking at rooms like yours with beautiful windows.

Karin, wish you were close enough to stop by! We did add a lot of additional windows to our house when we built it. Maybe went a little overboard, but I do love light filled rooms. And it gets me through our long winters!

Thank you for your kind words. I do love quilting and hope I can get more of my own projects finished this summer. I have quite a few of what quilters call UFO’s (un-finished objects!)
