Remember all the heart blocks and tutorials I shared back in January? Well, some friends and I have been busy sewing and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I would share a few projects. Using some of my red and gray scraps, I turned four of these heart blocks... ...into this LOVE-ly table runner. It has already found a home and is now gracing a table in New Mexico. Yep, money in my pocket for more new fabric! And some friends and I made these fun blocks and sewed up a quilt for a domestic violence shelter that takes in families. Even the sashing is scrappy! All of the blocks were made from turquoise, lime green and purple scraps. It is always fun to see the personality of each quilter in their blocks. Some strictly follow the "rules"... ...others, not so much! Even Vicki over at Vicki's Crafts is using pink and blue charm squares to make some heart quilts for her local neonatal unit. It's February so it is great to see everyone spreading the love! Nice job Vicki! Now I hope you share what fun things you are doing with scraps this week.

Happy Valentine's Day! This table runner is made with coordinating fabrics of red and white that have delicate hearts perfect for decorating for Valentine's Day. The quilted piece uses a series of squares and triangles in a pleasing design. Even though this is designed to be used for your loved one on this special day, it could certainly be left on your table all year as a lovely decoration. The runner has been quilted on my long arm quilt machine using cream colored thread with a stitch pattern called Pieces of the Heart. If interested, the video I've attached shows my machine while it is doing the quilting. I used 100% cotton batting with a low loft. The backing is red with pink flowers and the binding around the outside is a red and white stripe. The piece is 52 inches long and 16.5 inches wide. It may be washed in cold water on a gentle cycle and line dried. I will include care instructions with this purchase. Made in a smoke free and pet free home. This is a finished product, ready for immediate free shipping

Sew up a Valentine's Day holiday table runner with this easy to follow digital download pattern! You will be able to create a 42" by 8 1/4" table runner in an afternoon. This pattern uses a simple strip piecing method to create on point squares quickly and easily. It is called Love Letters because the points all around the runner are reminiscent of an old postage stamp--presumably used to mail a love letter! This table runner does not have a separate binding, but uses a straightforward technique to put the runner together which will enable you to get perfect points all the way around your runner! Your finished product will be beautiful regardless of your sewing level. The pattern has clear directions and many photos to guide you through the entire process. In addition, the pattern provides instructions if you decide to highlight, or fussy cut, a special print to ensure that your designs will be facing the right direction. These table runners are a great way to showcase special novelty Valentine Fabric but it can also be an elegant runner when made with solids. You will receive a digital PDF download immediately after purchase. The price is for the PATTERN ONLY.
I made this improv table runner as a wedding gift for a good friend. I wanted to use some gorgeous Oakshott scraps in fall colors, and that inspired me to divide the runner with a strip of brown, evoking a tree branch. The improv technique I used is a variation on slice and insert, and it creates some wonderful abstract shapes. My younger son informs me that "Abstract is when you get to make whatever you want - kind of like scribbles, but it is artwork." That's not too far off, and I'm a fan. The blocks of color made it fun to quilt. I emphasized the divide between the colors by quilting the cream in swirls and the tan in elongated meandering ripples. I did a simple rectangular spiral in each of the colored inserts. I made a pieced binding to continue the background colors in the runner. It makes the binding sort of disappear, leaving the focus on the fall colors. I was very tempted to keep the runner for myself, which I'm told is the sign of a good gift. I hope it will see many happy years in my friend's home.

dottie angel shared with me a 'terribly nice' table runner (skill level : medium peasy plus a little bit) gosh how i love the english language, how can something be terribly nice ?! it is the same as saying 'horribly lovely', however it is most fitting for our 1st day of joyfulness, for 'terribly nice' sounds so proper and there is nothing quite so proper than a table runner. i did not think i was the table runner sort, however an old english church pew has come to live with us and i do not think one can have a church pew without having a table runner. (slippery slope Tif, slippery slope) now before we begin may i just say several things. first thing: i forgot some ingredients yesterday, please add to your list * cushion pad * yarn * decorative stickers ... it is highly likely i have forgotten other bits and bobs but it will surely be in your boxes of glee and stashes of crafty goodness. also i forgot to mention in the course of the '12 days of joyfulness' you may indeed see some dodgy artificial lite photos, even a bit of blurriness here and there. (gasp, shock and a bit of horror) yes indeedy, due to the time of year and the time of day (or night) i have been beavering away, i have left my fretting ways behind and relied upon artificial lighting, and by doing so, it all became far more joyful to work on. second thing: today's 'how-to' is the most tricky dicky one of all, the rest i promise will not take as long nor require quite so much thought. i have offered this for day one not to make you fret and pack up your box of glee, muttering and weeping, but because i wish you to have more time to work on it. also more to the point, it is the getting started bit that takes the longest, once you are on the right track and know where you are going it will become most joyful i assure you third thing: my table runner is tres lacey, i do understand lace is not every ones cup of tea, so before you think about this not being for you and your craftiness, think about swapping out the lace for pieces of fabric which would be most spiffy me thinks so with all that being said, here we go... ingredients: * several old lace table runners, an old net curtain or a length of linen if you prefer * embroidery floss * old napkins and other embroidered pieces which can be cut up * lengths of narrow lace, ribbon or ric rac (trimmings basically) * a trusty sewing machine and thread in different colours * pins and scissors * a joyful disposition recipe: * start by figuring out the rough length you wish your 'terribly nice' runner to be. you may wish to make it so long it drapes over the edges of your table, you may wish to make it so wide it runs all the way to the sides. if this is the case, really i think you are now working on a 'terribly nice' table cloth, which is 'a-okay' with me, but may take you till next gleeful season to finish. * once you have figured the size out, you are going to make your bottom layer (a bit wider than the size you wish for), by laying out overlapping lengths old lace table runners, pieces of a net curtain, and wide strips of lace or indeed just one piece of linen. do not be fretting about 'even ends' to your table runner nor fraying edges. once happy, pin in place and with the help of your trusty sewing machine stitch the pieces together with self coloured thread * now the base of your table runner has been constructed we are going to be applying some nice layers of patched pieces 'a top'. this is where you will have to be brave and just start chopping and seeing where it leads you. place your chopped pieces down on your bottom layer and rearrange into a pleasing order and pin. stand back and ponder, if you are happy then start stitching them down with your trusty machine, this time you may wish to use some coloured thread. you may also wish to add some more layers of lace on this layer. * the next layer is the detail layer, you may wish to add little doilies or embroidered pieces to certain sparse areas, also lengths of lace, embroidered ribbon or ric rac even. just keep on patching and piecing, always stepping back to ponder and see the 'whole picture'. continue stitching in place and layering as and where you please (remember it is about what you like and not worrying about what others may think). do not get caught up in trying to make everything straight and even, if you step back and see you stitched something down and no longer like it, then patch over it with something you do like. * now to the 'cherry on the cake' bit. taking some happy coloured embroidery thread add a bit of hand stitched detailing. perhaps a row of cross stitching, a little bit of running stitch or even our beloved french knots. does not have to be fancy, just a bit of decoration 'tis all. * if you wish to make this more suited to the season than mine, i would suggest appliqueing some appropriate wording like 'JOY' or 'PEACE' to your 'terribly nice' table runner, if not then hoppity skip this step * the final step is to fold under the two longest sides of your runner and pin. then add a length of trimming or lace along the shorter ends (once again pin in place). with your trusty sewing machine, stitch around the whole outside edge of the runner. by the time you have done this and with all the layers built up and stitched in place, your spiffy 'terribly nice' table runner will have a 'quilted' effect * place your table runner upon your table. perhaps add a few tea lights to its spiffiness, for that added bit of sparkliness. wait for admiring comments from your clan, do not tolerate those that push it aside so their laptop will fit better on the table. then again perhaps you should... better pushed aside, than find a laptop upon those peachy french knots inspiration: a church pew (a slippery slope) she'll be back with the 2nd day of joyfulness on sunday ~ Tif

Just in case anyone missed the Valentine's Day Reversible Table Runner Tutoria,l when my guest post debuted on CraftyTammie's blog... Enjoy! Materials: Main Focus Fabric (Front and Back Border): 1/2 yard Coordinating Fabric (Front Border and Back): 1/2 yard Binding: 2.25" x +/- 113" Quilt Batting: 13.5" x 40" Heat n' Bond (optional) Sewing Machine1. From the Main Focus Fabric, cut one 9.5" x 36" piece for the Front of the table runner, and two 2.5" x 13.5" and two 2.5" x 36" pieces for the Border on the back side. 2. From the Coordinating Fabric, cut two 2.5" x 13.5" and two 2.5" x 36" pieces for the Border on the front side, and cut one 9.5" x 36" piece for the Back of the table runner. 3. With right sides together, and using a 1/4" seam allowance, sew the 2.5" x 36" Border pieces to the Main Focus Fabric (9.5" x 36"). Press seams toward the darker fabric. 4. Repeat Step #3, sewing the 2.5" x 13.5" Border pieces to the Main Focus Fabric (9.5" x 36"). Press seams toward the darker fabric. 5. The back of the table runner will be the inverse of the front, so with right sides together, sew the 2.5" x 36" Border pieces to the 9.5" x 36" Coordinating Fabric. Press seams toward the darker fabric. 6. Repeat Step #5, sewing the 2.5" x 13.5" Border pieces to the Coordinating Fabric. Press seams toward the darker fabric. 7. Sandwich the quilt batting between the wrong sides of the Front and Back of the table runner and quilt as desired. (Note- I quilted diagonal lines, spaced at about 2.25" which mimicked the fabric pattern.) 8. For the Binding, cut 2.25" strips and piece together for a total of +/- 113".(Note- I used various coordinating fabrics for the Binding, but you don't have to.Feel free to piece together the same fabric for a uniform Binding).To piece the strips, place the fabric right sides together, perpendicular to each other, and sew across the two strips at a 45 degree angle.Trim excess fabric at 1/4" and press seam open. 9. With wrong sides together, press the Binding in half.The table runner Binding will be sewn on just like quilt binding, so with a 1/4" seam allowance, sew the raw edge of the Binding to the back side of the table runner (leaving a +/- 6" tail from the start of the Binding).When approaching the corners, make sure to stop 1/4” from the corner, lift your needle and presser foot and fold the binding up onto itself. Fold the Binding down again, aligning the raw edges and resume stitching. 10. When approaching the start of the Binding, with right sides together, stitch the end of the Binding to the tail of the Binding (from Step #9).Finish sewing the raw edge of the Binding to the back side of the table runner. 11. Fold over the Binding to the front and hand or machine stitch the Binding in place, making sure to neatly miter the corners. 12. The reversible table runner is now complete, however should you want to add any additional elements feel free to!I chose to add 'love' to both ends of the table runner (which I cut out with Cricut), and backed with Heat n' Bond, which keeps the reversible functionality of the table runner. 13. Enjoy!
