Green Diamonds Table Runner
I love the colours in this table runner. I was looking in my stash for some fabrics to make a table runner and I found these two fabrics.

Simple quilting with outlines means following long lines across a quilt top or outlining large shapes. This type of quilting design works best with patterns like fence rail or log cabin that have large all-over patterns.

These embroidered pumpkins are a fun way to try new stitches. The foundation stitches are line stitches like back stitch, running stitch and chain stitch. The filling stitches are stitches with more interest and texture. The sample uses herringbone, feather and cretan stitches. Use these or try your own variation.

This quilted table runner was a quick project that I made as a gift. The soft colours blend together so there is some contrast, but no a lot.

Sometimes wavy diagonal lines are the perfect choice for finishing your quilt top. If your quilt has points that go across the quilt, but not in a perfectly straight line, these can be used as “landmarks” for stitching. Wavy random lines give a modern feel to a quilt and are easy to sew.

This pumpkin embroidery is a quick and easy project. It is great for fall decor, and you can use the same technique to stitch other shapes for other seasons.
