Country Heart Runners

So we started putting away the Christmas decoractions and of course, now that the Christmas runners are down, the place looks bare.

So off to the drawing board I went.

I had 3 designed, but only 2 came together.  The third one just wasn’t practical.

The one that didn’t come together was made from the burlap ribbon, then a red/black heart. But it was very difficult to get the red heart to stay on the ribbon, the ribbon shed all over the plan and did not stay together very well, so I just scrapped the whole thing.

More Holiday Sewing Going On

This is not my color scheme, but I ran with it as it was a ‘special’ request.  Love the backing on this on – so pretty.

I started on this and actually had it ready for her Early Family Christmas – made 2 designs because I kept changing the pattern and buying more fabric – becuz of the change. So much so that I actually created 2 different runners her for her.

They are super long – 5 foot – which totally fit her country table, so that worked out perfectly.

Then, of course, on my third trip to the fabric store (so bad that there is a quilt shop in the same town that I work in – ugh, I see my budget going out of control soon), they had this as a sample:

Holiday Sewing

Someone got me started on a holiday runner for them, which was the “Gateway” task.

I ran across these fabrics and I just couldn’t ignore them. 

I even love the back – I was just a bit short of the backing.

The only “quilting” I did on these was to “Stitch in the Ditch” which makes it so nice and clean (except for all the lint on the back).
