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?)

Isn't it funny how quickly things can go together sometimes, and you find yourself wondering why you waited so long????
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me, too.
Lovely table runner!
ReplyDeleteI love both your projects, especialy the border you added to Tipsy. Thanks for sharing your work.

Yes I had a towel under a TV for a long time before I remedied the situation. Your runner is so pretty and I love the border on your quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful runner and Tipsy is so cute, I've been playing with the Lil' Twister too.
ReplyDeleteLove the soft colors of the runner! Cute Tipsy!
ReplyDeleteYou were just waiting for the "right" time...now is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in the table runner.
ReplyDeleteThe timing must have been just right. The runner is beautiful! Love your "Tipsy" border, too!

ReplyDeleteWhoop whoop!! I love your runner, and I've got to try that twister thing - thanks for the tip last week! if I can just get the last quilt off the frame.... ;-) Thanks for linking up!!
ReplyDeleteBoth the runner and the bright whirligig quilt are sweet! Love the border you added.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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! ;)
