IN TIME FOR THE JINGLE BELL HOP

You might have seen my post on Monday where I told you what I did with my left overs.  Today I wanted to show you where those left overs came from.  Above is the table runner that I made as a sample for the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I wanted it to be there in time for the Jingle Bell Hop.  I purchased all the fabrics from the shop but still had to audition some of my own. (just in case I had a better idea. Wink)   I decided to use the original fabrics that Chris helped me pick out.  However, I couldn't let those discarded pieces go to waste.

 So I finally finished this table runner  I love the fabrics that Chris picked out.  The pattern is Mod Ornaments Runner and is from the book The Joyful Stitcher. 

Another closeup of the ornaments.  The runner is 18.5 x 46.5.  I used the freezer paper method of applique, using cotton fabrics.  The book calls for wool for the applique.  I imagine you could also use cotton and the fuse method of applique.  You can get the book and fabrics at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Take a look at the beautiful wools while there.  (Maybe someday I'll learn to work with wool.)
