Either way, I made a Christmas table runner this week. I find that the pre-Christmas period gets too rushed for sewing, so I like to make Christmas things in the weeks following Christmas. I have much more time and energy in early January.
I love Christmas fabrics when I see them in the shops in August, but I'm not feeling the Christmas spirit in August, so I put them away. Then I get busy and Christmas comes and goes and I still haven't make anything. This year I decided to start in the week between Christmas and New Year, and low and behold, I've made a table runner.
I couldn't find a pattern that was simple but effective, so I made up my own pattern and customised the design to fit my table perfectly. I'd purchased the Bloc Loc Half Rectangle Triangle rulers some months ago, but not used them yet. They provided the ideal solution for my table runner design. These rulers weren't cheap, but they worked brilliantly, and include directions for cutting any size half rectangle triangle up to 8.5" tall.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party - a chance to show off what you've made lately. Or maybe you've already written your quilting plans for 2019 and would like to share? Feel free to link up and let others know what you've been up to (even holiday posts are fine because we're all on Summer holidays down in this part of the world).
PS - I'm planning a giveaway during the last week of January. I've been blogging for 5 years now, so I'm planning a celebration. Stay tuned!
