I pulled this long-planned project out on Monday to post to Monday Makers! - I started stitching it Monday or Tuesday, and got the piecing/QAYG'ing finished on Wednesday. Then I got nervous about the binding (those are quite acute curves!) so I didn't even turn my sewing machine on on Thursday or Friday! Today - as per post title - loins were girded, big girl panties were thrown on, and project was COMPLETED :) I got one tiny tuck on the bottom curve - that's far better than I was expecting :D It's done, and it's CUTE!! It measures 34" long including the carrot tops ... 29" long without them, and 15" wide at the widest point. It actually worked out well enough that I can do what I had hoped, which is to gift it as a surprise Easter gift :) I'm so glad I got off my duff and got working on this! I think I need to make more of them, lol! Free tutorial and pattern here, if anyone else wants to try it :) |

Posting this to Monday Makers! #25 and Celtic Thistle Stitches New to Me for Feb. 2015 :)
Well done, Sandra ! It's very original and I think it's a fun project too !
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous Sandra. I much prefer yor ribbon top to the felt one the pattern suggests. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the binding with the tight curves. You've done an awesome job, Sandra!!! This is such a fun table runner and is bound to be a great talking point. I love it!!! It'd go so well with my 70s orange kitchen. Finding or making a co-ordinating table cloth would be a challenge. But you'd have to make something that still allows the table runner to stand out.
ReplyDeleteWorkshop Sandra! Well done you, I love it.
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I like yours better than the original. the ribbons kick it up a notch.
ReplyDeleteEEK! That is SO stinkin' cute!!! The ribbons are absolutely inspired!
ReplyDeleteThis is really adorable! Makes me wish I had a table that I could decorate :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic project! It's turned out really well :)
