Table Runners - Cherry Christmas

I have been back working on my Christmas Table Runners.



The first one I quilted "in the ditch".

Then decided that I needed to get out side my comfort zone
and try some FMQ with some new settings that I have for my machine.




I did it and at last have the right settings for my machine.
It has only taken me 12+ months!

As you can see on the top one, the binding was almost completed.
Oh well, I went and added some FMQ anyway :o)




I like it more now :o)
I am also liking my machine that little bit more now that we can work together
and play with some more FMQ.




All four table runners are quilted and I am slowly working on hand stitching the binding.




I am looking forward to sharing them with you very soon.

hugs, Sharon

    Your quilting looks great, and so handy to be able to do it yourself. Those runners will be such great gifts.

    Congratulations Sharon, great results. I think FMQ is the final frontier of quilting where so far I am too scared to go because I don't know what's out there or what will happen if I do! It will be on the 'to-do' list for next year again though. Tracee xx
