This table runner was a collaboration with my younger daughter, who is an artist of the drawing and painting variety. I asked her from some flower sketches that I could use for embroidery designs. This is one of the ones she came up with.
If you only quilt, you probably have a bunch of fancy stitches on your sewing machine that you never use. Why not use them in quilting? It’s fun to do and looks great.
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.
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.
