This garland is perfect for the holidays, I got the pattern from my "one yard wonders" book. It's made from moda fabric- L'Amour by Sandy Gervais.
I started to blanket stitch the felt letters by hand but figured if I wanted it done by Valentines then I need to figure something else out because my machine does not have the blanket stitch, but I found that the blind hem stitch does work!
And here is a full photo of the table runner. I just cut up a bunch of 2 inch strips and started sewing.
And you have seen some clips of the this but not the whole picture. I finally got the binding on it finished. These are also moda fabrics from the Urban Couture line. They are fat quarters that I got for a buck each at the quilt show in August. I didn't have a pattern for this either, I just started cutting up 3 inch strips (i think) and sewed white to the ends, It's kinda like a brick layout.
and the back is just one piece of fabric.
And my mom n law showed me how to bind a quilt perfectly and I have to admit I have mastered the skill. I love how the corners turned out.

Great finishes. I have a charm pack of the Urban Couture range and was thinking of making a table runner. I really love the red and the blue colourways. Good work on the binding. It looks like it has definately been mastered. Love the backing fabric.

ReplyDeleteLove the runner, and your 'original' brick layout of the throw is nice. Your mitered corners are like that of a pro! Good finishes!

My daughter said, "oh I want one of those". The banner and runner are sweet! Great job on the mitered binding. It feels so good when you get the hang of it.
