Sewing - two table runner for merchandise for our Gramma Link Africa - Chili for a Cause on October 23rd


I worked on projects for our next event with Gramma Link Africa - Chili for a Cause.  A table runner (31.5 x 15") which turned out quite nice.  I have not made many table runners before but I really liked this colour combination and theme.  Christmas with white doves and silvery snowflakes and on the other side coffee!!!  For anyone who has red as a part of their kitchen/dining room will appreciate this table runner.  I added polyester batting and sewed it all around and turned in inside out and finished the outside edge with top stitching.  I used my walking foot and its guide to add some quilting about 3" apart at a 45 degree angle.  




 I made this Christmas table runner first!!  Doves on red on one side and a snowy mountain scene on the other side (30" x 15").  Again, polyester batting which I stitched to the red side before placing them back to back and stitching all the way around.  Once I turned it inside out I top stitched all the way around.  I added more straight lines of quilting between the ones I had put in to secure the batting.  I had not yet taken out my walking foot and it might have been a good idea.  
There is always a learning curve.  
These are both not too thick though they do have some dimension because of the fluffy batting.
