Blossom Tablerunner

Hello friends! It's been a while since I updated my blog as life has been busy, busy, busy! Time in the sewing room has been limited, so I've made the most of every stitchy moment, working on a secret project.

Blossom Tablerunner

The Fat Quarter Shop have just released a new book called Tablerunner Bliss by Sherri Falls of This & That Pattern Co. If you love making table runners, this is certainly the book for you! It contains 20 table runner patterns, perfect for any occasion.

Today is my turn on the Tablerunner Bliss Book Blog Hop and after sharing a few hints (and sneaky peeks) over on Instagram, I'm so pleased to be able to show you my finished table runner which is called "Blossom".

Choosing the fabrics for this project was tricky, but as spring has arrived here in Australia, I decided on some lovely florals. I used 30's Playtime 2017 by Chloe's Closet for Moda Fabrics in a simple palette of red, blue and yellow.

The pattern is very easy to follow with simple step by step pictures. After clearing off the cutting table, I was super organised and did all of the cutting in one session, while keeping all of the pieces labelled. I must admit, I’m usually a “cut as I go” kinda person which isn’t the most efficient use of time.

This table runner came together in a few hours (in an evening) and I spent a couple of hours quilting it and sewing on the binding the next morning. I was a little fancy with my quilting - loops and hearts.

Be sure to follow along with these other talented people, also participating in the Tablerunner Bliss Blog Hop over the next couple of months. Each table runner in the book will be created and shared on Tuesdays.
