Merry Christmas!

This runner for Christy is called The 10-Minute Runner – I assure you to took a lot longer than ten minutes to complete. I don’t know why I love this cardinal fabric so much as we don’t have them in our area. I made this (except for the quilting) at one of my Thursday sewing sessions.

I’ve had this kit for a long time; in fact I thought it was a kit for the 10-Minute Runner but when I opened it up the package had been mis-labelled and I had a kit for a wall hanging. This was also done at a Thursday sewing session. I followed the lines of the trees for the quilting. I thought I had enough of the grey fabric for a border but when I couldn’t find any I added a facing instead.

This pattern for Elizabeth came from something Gail (from Thursday sewing) found online. We each made one but they looked completely different because of the placement of the lights, mediums and darks. There was a lot of quilting to do on this and it meant changing thread colours often. Elizabeth is the only one who has a table large enough to fit it.
