Design Wall Monday 2/28/11





When we bought our TV table/console, I didn’t have a runner large enough to cover the top of it.  So I folded a beach towel, which would have to do until I made a runner.  How long has it been?  Not very long.  Maybe going on a year?  Or so?  Hm.  Well, anyway, I took a few hours and made a braided runner.  So easy.  So fast.  Just have to bind it, which I’ll do by machine.  Now, why did I wait so long?




“Tipsy” needed another border, so I cut squares from the leftover fabric and sewed them with strips of the inner border, just to make it a little bigger.  It’s now 19” x 24 ½”, which is good for a tabletopper.  


Next week I hope to have "Remembering Kathleen" started and a UFO finished!  (How's that for commitment?)

  1. Isn't it funny how quickly things can go together sometimes, and you find yourself wondering why you waited so long????

    That happens to me, too.

  13. That table runner is so pretty! The monochromatic challenge colour for January was yellow and since then, I've just been ga-ga over gold in quilts. I guess I'd better make one to get this out of my system. Good for you!! I love the shape.

  14. Beautiful table runner! I'm working on a cross stitch that is over 10 years old, so don't feel too bad about taking just a year to make a runner! ;)

  15. I'm really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to see a
    great blog like this one nowadays.
