| This spring-themed table runner features the designs from the
Garden
Redwork Set for the small (4"x 4") hoop. |
|
The finished size of the tablerunner is about 9" x 42".
We used 4 solid fabrics in bright spring hues: pink, yellow, green
and white. Assuming a fabric width of 40", you will need: 1/4 yard of pink
fabric, one strip 2 1/2" wide of yellow fabric, 1/2 yard of green fabric
(this includes the binding) and 1/4 yard of white fabric. You will also
need backing and batting, each piece measuring about 15" x 15". |
|
Cutting:
|
|
Out of white fabric, cut 4 squares measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".
Out of yellow fabric, cut 13 squares measuring 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".
Out of pink fabric, cut 16 rectangles measuring 2 1/2" x 5 1/5".
Out of green fabric, cut 7 squares measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", and 3
strips 2 1/2" wide and the length of the width of the fabric for the binding. |

Embroidery:
|
| Stabilize the white squares with iron-on cut-away stabilizer. Make
the embroidery. Cut away the excess stabilizer.
You can also use polyester craft felt instead of the stabilizer. In
this case we recommend to baste the quilt top to the felt in the ditch
along the colored borders. After the embroidery is finished, rip the baste
and cut away the excess felt around the embroidery. |
|
|
Quilting and Finishing:
|
| Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with
batting. Spread your working piece over it.
Pin all three layers together with 1" pins and start quilting. We quilted
along the lines of the embroidery and made stippling all over the quilt.
After the quilting is finished, press the work with heavy steam and
cut away the excess fabric along the diagonal of the edge squares. |
|
| Finish the raw edges with the binding. |
|
|
The quilt is ready. Enjoy!
|
|
| We hope that you liked our idea and will come up with many of your
own. |
|
Happy Stitching!
