Table Runner Palooza - Saturday, October 2nd

Today's Table Runner Palooza showcase is all about some fall favorites.

First up ... remember this picture?

Well after many hours for trimming squares and squaring half-square-triangles, I'm so happy to introduce my latest pattern: the Haunted Home table topper, made with Sanae's Haunted Mansion fabric for Moda.

The finished project measures 33" squares, which makes it perfect either as a table topper, or as a wall hanging.  The .pdf pattern is currently available in my etsy shop at an introductory of $4.49.

If you love the topper/wall hanging, but don't have time to make one for yourself before Halloween, the sample is also available for sale in my etsy shop as well.


Next table topper, Modern Haunts,  was also created using Haunted Mansion by Sanae:

This is more of a modern piece, featuring 5" circle-in-squares that have been "loose-edge" appliqued, so fter a few washings, the edges will start to fray.

This topper is currently available for purchase in my etsy shop.

The last featured table runner today is my Autumn Daisies table runner.  It was inspired by my embroidery class with Shirley at Bearpaws and Hollyhocks in Sacramento.  I had been playing around with a daisy pattern, mentioned in this post, but once I had finished the embroidery, I was kind of at a loss as to how to finish it, so I set it aside for awhile.  Several months later, I had stumbled across a fat quarter pack at JoAnn's and the colors and daisy print made it seem like they were meant to go together.

The finished runner measures 32" x 16" and is currently for sale in my etsy shop.

Table Runner Palooza - Sunday, September 19th

Today, there are three new listings for Table Runner Palooza!

First up, is a cheerful, springy table runner made with my favorite Heather Bailey Fresh Cut print, off set by a green polka dot print and a peachy solid.  SOLD!

This runner is the product of my first forays in free motion quilting on my home machine and I absolutely love the way it turned out.

It's currently available for purchase in my etsy shop for half off of it's original purchase price.

Next up is a patchwork table runner made from one of my favorite Clothworks fabric lines ever: Sew Much Love by Diane Knott.  SOLD!

When I started making this table runner, I initially had some sort of a nine-patch pattern in mind.  While I was playing around with my 2.5" squares, however, and this was the design that eventually evolved.  It is also available in my etsy shop for a discount rate.  Hope you enjoy!

Last up for today is my Eva Stripe Table Runner, made with a great quilt-as-you go tutorial.

As a special bonus for Table Runner Palooza, I'm currently offering free shipping for any of the Table Runners and Toppers in my Etsy shop for my blog followers only.  If you purchase a runner or topper, please mention in the "Notes to Seller" section of your purchase that you follow my blog and I'll refund your shipping cost!

(Please note - free shipping is not being offered on any of my printed patterns or quilts at this time).

Table Runner Palooza

I really enjoy making table runners.  They're quick weekend projects that equally feed my love of design and finish projects.  I was looking through my closet the other day and began to count the number of runners I've made, but never sold and I was so surprised!  Way too many!

So, rather than list them a few at a time, season by season, I decided to celebrate my runners with Table Runner Palooza - a giant table runner and pattern sale!  Over the next few weeks, I'll be introducing my runners and patterns and sharing my design process here on the blog as I list them for sale in my etsy shop.  I hope you enjoy!

First up is my Two-Fat-Quarter-Table-Topper:

Back in 2009, when my mom and I went on our first shop hop, I won two fat quarters from Moda's Allspice Tapestry line from one of the local quilt shops.  I really liked these prints, but didn't have enough money in shop-hop-budget to purchase coordinating pieces.  These sat on my shelf for a couple of months until I was looking for a weekend project and decided to sit down and figure out how to make the biggest table topper -- including binding -- possible, using solely these two fat quarters.  The finished piece measures 21.5" square.

The table topper is on sale for $16.50 (regularly $32.99) in my etsy shop. And just in case I forgot, I wrote down the directions so I didn't have to figure out all the math again.  The pattern is also now available for sale in my etsy shop ... in case you don't want to have to figure out the math either.
