Thanksgiving Harvest Table Runners

I found some absolutely beautiful quilting fabric recently. Making Thanksgiving table runners was a must with such pretty stash in hand. I’ve made the following two runners out of it so far. As always each item I make is unique. No two are identical, which makes each one special in its own way.

This one was made in a patchwork style featuring blocks of the harvest theme fabric in the center and the border. It measures 13-1/4 inches x 39-5/8 inches long. It is backed with a coordinating fabric so it’s reversible. This would add an elegant theme to anyone’s table for Thanksgiving!

It is machine stitched with decorative stitching reinforcing all seams. This ensures it will stand up to regular use without issue. As always, it’s machine washable on the gentle cycle with cool water. Air or machine dry on low heat. May be steam pressed. It’s available on Amazon.com.

 

 

The second Thanksgiving table runner I made with these same fabrics shows more of the harvest produce fabric. It’s really elegant! It is 12-1/4 inches x 45-1/4 inches long.

 

This view shows the backing, which is in a coordinating fabric.

 

 

As with the other runner, the piece was machine stitched with decorative stitching  reinforcing all seams. I make my runners to be USED, not just looked at! All are machine washable (cool water, gentle cycle) and can be air or machine dried on low heat. Steam pressing is fine if desired. Available on Amazon.com.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Peaches and Cream Table Runner

table runner 2Somehow I feel connected to anything I create…even table runners! If I needed to name this one, I’d call it “Peaches and Cream” because of the pretty colors. It’s made from cotton fabrics featuring peach, green and cream colors. It is 47-3/4” long x 11-3/4” wide and would look really lovely in any room where peach and green are the accent colors. To adopt this table runner, visit my web page where it’s listed at http://HandMadeInIowa.com/over_40_long.html. You will see it there, if it has not already been sold.
