    Barbm inspired me with her table runners. So I just finished two table runners for gifts. The brown and amber table runner I made for my son and DDIL. It is 80 x 18 nches for their 90 inch new dining room table.
    The red table & white table runner I will post after this because you can only post 3 pictures at a time. It is smaller 12 x 36 inches I made for my DH's niece for their new house. I did free form machine quilting on both of them, hope you can see it ok. Made a couple of mistakes but I still like them.

    Here is a close up so you can see the fabric.

    Here is full view of the table runner for my son and DDIL with the backing showing.

    Ok here is the red one. I like the quilting on this one because it reminds me of red work quilting.

    Here is the red one I made for my DH's niece.

    Very nice work. I LOVE seeing finished pieces. I may actually get off my chair and move over to the sewing machine and fire it up!

    I love them- very nice quilt job!

    I guess they were a hit at DD's shower. I've been asked to make a bunch more for FDIL's shower at end of July. Right after I finish my blocks for the B&W swap. (Acutally I'm glad I made one for me, it is an easy pattern and fun to do.)

    Keep up the good work!
