Am I running low yet? Nope!
I had a bag full of 9 patches - made out of
strips that were 1 1/2" wide.
Not knowing what I wanted to do with them
exactly; so they were put away.
So, they came out of the WIP draw and I
thought that I would make a table runner out
of them.
Table runner is 30" x 18 1/2"
I really like the fabric but don't know the
manufacturer, as I bought them as Fat
Quarters. The look of it reminds me of a
Romantic Cottage style.
I wanted to try something new, so I decided
to use a decorative stitch around the sashing.
I think that it gives it a nice touch. The quilting
is just a plain cross hatch.
The back of the table runner is a solid olive
green but with the quilting in a cranberry color
it has a nice contrast and the runner now can
be reversible.
We have all these pretty decorative stitches
built in our machines and they should be
used more. Don't you think?
I had lots more 9 patches left, so I made
some matching mats. Mats are 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" each.
I like the use of the decorative stitch on the table runner. It adds a lot of interest. I agree, I don't use the "extra" stitches that I have to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteYes Sharon. We buy these wonderful machines with all of these
Deletebeautiful stitches built in and hardly utilized them at all.
I'm going to try and find more projects just for the stitches (-:
