My table runner is finished! It didn't take long to quilt. I'm used to large quilts so it was a pleasure to quilt something smaller and quicker. I used straight lines and arcs in the squares. I quilted a similar pattern in the black stars. These stars are similar to sawtooth stars but there is more fabric where the flying geese are sewn next to the black square. I think they're supposed to be a little more whimsical than sawtooth stars. I think you can see more detail if you click on the picture.
My cross stitch came out a little larger than expected. I added some rick rack and borders so now it measures 9" square. I think it's a little too large to be an ornament. I plan on quilting the border and making it into a little wall hanging. I made this for my future daughter-in-law who loves anything Halloween. She can use this as part of her decorations for her favorite holiday. I think it's so cute! I hope she loves it too!
Just such a cute stitchery finish for your DIL to be!! I am sure she will just love it!! The dark stars are so compelling on your little runner...nice work. hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you! So nice to hear you like both projects! They were lots of fun to make!
DeleteCongratulations on finishing the table runner, it is pretty. The cross stitch will be extra special with a quilted border. I love the fabric you stitched it on.
