I am back to making table runners for my guild's quilt show boutique coming up in January. Earlier in the year I finished up a pretty good stack of them for them, but they are asking for more. Table runners are a big hit at the boutique and sell like hotcakes.
Last week I made up a charity quilt with these fabrics left over from a fat quarter bundle. I still ended up with lots of them still in the scrap bin. They are now ending up in table runner for the boutique. There seems to be no end to them, as I have multiple squares cut and lots more of these runner to make with them. At our guild meetings there is a free table each month that offers all sorts of odds and ends of things we want to rid ourselves of. It is a treasure trove of patterns, magazines, sewing tools and scraps of fabric. I grabbed this fabric off the table and managed to get this one table runner put together with it.
And this fabric on the table too. I have 2 more of these ready to sew up into table runners as well for the boutique.My thanksgiving table runner is finished. I got the binding on it this week and am so pleased with it. Those floating leaf point were a challenge but so worth it. Makes that leaf block center just really stand out.

Love the Thanksgiving table runner!!
ReplyDeleteI love the lady bugs on the runner. We had three of them fly into our house yesterday.
ReplyDeleteGreat "quiltlets"--working with leftovers is always such fun...you really scored some lovely ones...
ReplyDeleteI love that maple leaf fabric--lovely piece...;)))
Nice works hugs, Julierose
You've done so well at using up those odds and ends. Your guild must have a very busy booth at the quilt show.
ReplyDeleteLovely projects, I love the birds!
ReplyDeleteI'd say that you scored big time on items from the free table! Those fabrics sure will make great table runners!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteAwesome runners! You sure scored with the free table! Our guild does the same thing - and yes, it's usually full of fun options. Our members decided to try holding a rummage sale next spring with proceeds helping to fund our activities.
ReplyDeleteGreat uses of those goodies!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty table runners! I love that Charlie Harper fabric you grabbed. His birds are always so sweet! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Just one of the things I miss not currently being part of a quilt guild.....the free table
ReplyDeleteAwesome table runners and was that Charlie Harper fabric? I just love the birds! You are keeping busy.
ReplyDeleteThose are some lovely table runners. I imagine they will sell out quickly. Your Thanksgiving runner is gorgeous! I love the fabrics and the maple leaf.
ReplyDeleteYour table runners are lovely, beautiful color combo. They are going to be a hit during the big sale! I love the blue and yellow one, gorgeous. Your thanksgiving runner is a beauty too! Thank you for sharing and linking up.
ReplyDeleteYou have made some beautiful ones with the Charlie Harper fabric scraps, nice!
ReplyDeleteThe bird fabric is so cute! I think Jocelyn is right, it's Charlie Harper fabric. My Guild also does a free table, but there is never fabric on it. All the fabric goes to the charity quilt table.
ReplyDeleteLove the bird fabric. Your table runners will be great for the boutique. I love your Thanksgiving runner! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteOh, your thanksgiving table runner is delightful; I hope you enjoy it this year. And how wonderful to be making so many fun finished for your guild. Thanks so much for linking up with Favorite Finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat that table runners sell like hot cakes since they go together quicker than some projects! Love the cute bird prints!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Donnalee, those are great runners for your quilt show's shop! That Charley Harper fabric was a real find! I still haven't made anything with my small stash of it....so precious :-) Thanks for linking up to FM Mavericks!
