July 16, 2018 by persimondreams 93 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m excited to be here today to share with you the news that one of my projects has been PUBLISHED in a book!  The book is called “Table Runner Roundup: 13 Quilt Projects to Spice up Your Table”.  I’m honored to be included in this fabulous book among 9 other fabulous designers!  The book is compiled by Amelia Johanson and it’s definitely going to be your “go to” book for making gifts and decorations for your home.

I designed this fun table runner called “hightail” and it features flying geese, half square triangles, and of course, fun color combinations!

It looks great hanging on our deer fence.

I used safety pins to add a temporary sleeve to the table runner.

Which made it easy for me to hang the quilt up on our wall!

While, I do think my table runner is pretty fabulous … there are lots of other ones I’d love to make from the Table Runner Roundup book.  Perhaps I’ll even get an early start on my Christmas gifts this year!  I’m not going to show you ALL the quilts in the book … but these four are definitely on my to-do list!

    I usually give table runners away to friends, but I have a few holiday ones that I bring out annually. These are so pretty I'm not sure I'd want to give them away!

    I have runners on several tables in my house, but a lot of the runners I make are for gifts. I think they are wonderful gifts, as most anyone can find a place to use a runner. And having a variety to change out for the seasons and/or holidays is nice.
