Christmas Tablerunner

Last year Mum told me she'd like a tablerunner in Christmas fabrics. Okay I thought, I'll make it for her birthday in September. Didn't happen! So I thought I'd give it to her for Christmas ... didn't happen! Anyway she finally got it this week. This photo was taken on her dining table.


Using fabrics from 3 Christmas ranges by 3 Sisters, I adapted a quilt design from the Moda Bake Shop. Most of the tumbler shapes are Peace on Earth...

with a bit of Glace to add variety.


 The white and red border is Roman Holiday.


The backing and binding are a gorgeous red floral from  Peace on Earth.

  
Very simple straight(ish!) line quilting holds it all together.



Today I worked on my State Fair blocks and prepared the stitchery blocks for
Tis the Season, Natalie Bird's new Christmas quilt.

    That table runner is really pretty. It's obviously Christmas-themed, but not so much that you couldn't use it for several months. Love your fabric choices.

    Happy quilting,
