A Christmas Table Runner for Christmas Dinner

 My brother and his wife always host the big family meals.

I took these two  photos with my camera phone.  I wanted to show you how nice it looked on their table. Also, so you could see it full length, because I realized the photos I took on my table, before I gave it to them, were up close and not full length.

I quilted it with the Paisley Swirly Quilting only in a much smaller version than the quilting last week.  

I quilted with a Alpine Green thread.  It was a good choice with all the Christmas colors.

The binding is an all machine embroidery stitched binding.  I love the little feathery embroidery stitch.

It was a fun table runner to make.  It was created from a charm pack of 42 squares and extra fabric for the backing and binding.  I made it at a quilt retreat in October.  I will get the pattern information for you after the holidays. You will love it!

Of course, stitched in my name and the year.

I also made four everyday hot pads for them. Using the insulated batting.

  
I will share the hot pads next Tuesday (Jan. 8th) for Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday.


Enjoy your day!
