Fall Table Runner Finished

I've finished the table runner. 




The pattern is  -White Christmas- by Cheryl Goss at Willowberry Designs
The pattern was very easy to follow, and I can see myself making many of these in different themes.


Cheryl's pattern has beautiful holly leaves and berries in two of the corners.  I had thought of embroidering maple leaves, but then I would have had to come up with a leaf pattern, and it all seemed like more than I wanted to get into right now.



I thought  that perhaps I could put yo-yo's in the corner -- looks somewhat like little mums-- but then decided against it as it would be like me to set a glass or something down on the table and it would spill.  I had made only 2 in fall colors when I decided against it,  so I added a white to just get an idea of how it would look.

Table Runner

The project I'm starting now is a table runner.

The pattern is from the Christmas In July online event that I took.  It was designed by Chreyl Goss of Willowberry Designs .         

 While I'm waiting for the kit I ordered to arrive,  I decided to make one that I can use this  fall.



 I had  made a quilt for my daughter out of this fabric.

I just love the shades of  orange,red,brown and blue.

The blue has little leaves on it--just right for fall.  Check back to see the finished product.  I'm hoping to have it finished soon!!!
