The famous table runner



My first quilt table runner. finished size: 21 by 70 inches long. my friend has a freaking long dining table. You can find this tutorial here.
or youtube video
                                       The meathod is called "quilt as you go".
                      Both tutorials are very clear. You should be able to finish in no time.


I brought this table runner to sewing class so I could take some pictures.

My bf and I still live in a tiny apartment so we don't have a long table like my friend does.

But I think I will make different table runners later when we get our own house, talking about different holidays:Thanksgiving, Christmas, valentine's day, Chinese new year, spring time, summer time, 4th July............




I did embroidery a" happy thanksgiving" tag sewn onto the runner, but it doesn't show very well in this photo. So Grace, considering this is your thanksgiving gift.



This is a photo I took using my iphone before applying binding. The happy thanksgiving tag is really nice.
