On Black Friday there were some great deals on charm packs of different fabric lines. A charm pack usually has about 40 - five inch squares of a certain fabric line. I decided to purchase some to play around with the color combos to make some unique table runners.
The first table runner was made out of Red, White, and Free fabric by Moda. I used the five inch squares to create 3 pinwheel blocks tied together with some coordinating red fabric.
Then I tried out a new sewing foot used for free motion quilting. It was my first try at free motion quilting...not bad for a first attempt, but room for improvement.
The next one I tackled used fabric from a line called April Showers by Moda. The duo that designed this fabric line is a mother and daughter team. Earlier I used a different line of theirs to create a baby quilt. (Sorry for the poor quality of pictures. It was a cloudy day, but also Christmas Eve when I finished. No time to wait for better lighting.)
Upon closer inspection you notice the turquoise fabric is a raindrop print and the red semi -circle print is actually umbrellas.
The last one is from the fabric line Elementary. As you can see, some pieces have the alphabet while others have mathematical equations.
I love the color combo of this line!
The fun part about charm packs and table runners is when you are done with one, you still have plenty leftover to make another one with a different twist.
Meanwhile my husband was outside playing with our dusting of snow the other day. Merry Christmas!!
