A Start

 This morning I started working on my Valentine table runner. I am having to do some re-figuring because the table runner I am making is going to be much longer and more narrow than the original pattern. I actually have to sew the piece together, layer it, and then add the flowers. After I do all that than I machine quilt it. I have most of the borders together.
I am linking up this project to the Lovely Year of Finishes on Melissa's blog. Today is the last day you can link up to the post here for Nothing but UFOs in 2013.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Love the colors on this one! Which magazine is it from? (probably one I already have ... LOL)

I JUST made a runner for my daughter using Flirtations! I had a charm pack and I still have lots of yardage. No idea what I had in mind for it when I bought it.
I'd like to know what magazine you found that runner pattern in as well. I have some of that same fabric shown in the magazine and it would of course look lovely in that!

It's just adorable, Carrie! I have to laugh - neither of us are football fans, yet we watched yesterday and I got a lot of stitching done during the game!
Cheers!

That's going to be a cute one! Is that black, brown or darker red in ther with the pinks? My computer is not showing it well. Very cute whatever color it is!

That is going to be very pretty Carrie!

The runner would make a good piece for Valentine's Day (which I sorely lack quilt decor for that holiday). It doesn't scream hearts but has a romantic look.

Oh how pretty! You are a busy girl. I won't keep you. You have a deadline. I need your table runner for my Valentines Day dinner we are hosting for our daughter! Alas I'll probably go shabby with raw edge fadic. LOL.
Happy sewing.

I really like this one. Is it appliqued? Hugs

Melissa said...

It is lovely! I can't wait to see it all finished!

The table runner looks like it is going to be bright and happy. I'm liking the fabrics you've chosen better than the ones in the pattern picture.
