This past week, I have spent several hours going through my photos trying to find one that "talked" to me. As of this writing, I am undecided what to tackle next. So for my post this week, I decided to share my quick and easy Christmas presents that have become very popular with my friends.
Four years ago, I made my first set of quilted Christmas table runners to give as presents. A friend suggested that instead of making time consuming quilted table runners, I should make simple two-sided table runners. Thus began my journey of making table runners as Christmas presents for several years. I made everyone two two-sided table runners for Christmas. This year was suppose to complete the set or so I thought.... a total of 6 table runners; one for every month of the year. This year's featured May and July; plus August and September. Thinking I was finished with making table runners, requests have been made for a Happy Birthday and Party; plus an Anniversary and Baby Shower. Oh well, I know what I will make for Christmas 2013.
To make each table runner, I sandwiched the material with iron-on thermo fleece in the middle to give the table runners some loft. Since I make 16 sets (two for each person) of table runners each Christmas, they have to be made in a fast and efficient way.
Here are some of the table runners I have made:
October Table Runner
Happy Halloween
Pumpkins mean October.
