Snowball Tablerunner

Not much going on except for this little table runner I'm working on for a store sample at Quilted Bear. It's one charm pack with a little extra fabric for the applique shapes at each end. I'm using hand dyed wool for the applique, it's quicker and gives it a more interesting look....and I love the look of the wool AND I don't have to turn under the edges...that's a good enough reason for me. Today I'll stitch down the wool and get it ready for quilting.

I'm using the Little Charmers pattern by Anka's Treasures and the fabric is Moda Charisma charm pack. The binding is going to be a multi-coloured strip from the Charisma line.

Not too much excitement from me. I did one test heart block in pinks but I haven't decided if I'm doing more or not...we'll see if I get in the mood for making more hearts.

Thanks for stopping by.

  19. I like those little Charmers patterns - I have quite a few. I was looking at the Quilted Bear website. That retreat to Harrison Hot Springs looks like a great one.
