The tale of two table runners -
My brother's youngest son was getting married last fall, so we took the easy route and purchased a gift from their registry list. Then my feeling of guilt took over, as I usually make my gifts. Since I didn't know his bride-to-be, I decided to make a table runner. (The picture shows both sides) One side is Christmas and the other is made from some grays and neutrals that I picked up at a quilt show in Hershey PA last summer. I had fun quilting feathers in the large triangle spaces.
I liked the results so much that I made the second table runner with the rest of the fabrics, along with a few from my stash just for me! The second runner is paper pieced and was a bonus pattern from Quiltmaker magazine.
Very beautiful quilt work ,I like it special form solution :)

I love the double-sided runner, what a great idea and the subtle grey side is particularly elegant.

The table runner your made for your nephew is gorgeous. My favorite side is the grey side. The feathers are amazing. And love that you got a table runner out of it too. Thanks for a fun stop on my Blogger's Quilt Festival tour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your quilted feathers. I hope to be able to that one day. :-)

ReplyDeleteThe feather quilting is wonderful. What a lovely gift.
ReplyDeleteHomemade gifts are the best kind! I like the double sided idea--I will have to tuck that one away!
ReplyDeleteI was just in Kingston for the first time this weekend-lovely! I didn't have time to look for fabric shops :) plus, my husband wouldn't think it was too cool.
