I started a new holiday table runner and placemat set today.
I went into Joann's on Sunday with the intention of buying muslin and thread. I ended up buying this fabric too, just because I thought it was really unique!
Grey, mustard yellow, tan and white. As a holiday fabric. Who would have thought? But I just love it.
There are touches of gold in it as well, so gold thread seemed a natural choice for the quilting. I also used one of my favorite quilting styles, what I call a "straight line stipple". It's a meandering stitch, but with straight lines instead of curves. On small items like this, I do it with the walking foot.
It can also be done as a free motion stitch on large things, which also works well (and you don't have to keep turning your project).
I bought one yard of fabric, which was enough for a table runner and 4 placemats.
Sorry, the color is really off in this picture. But you get the idea.
It was great to have a little sewing time today!
In other news: ANOTHER CONTINENT CONQUERED
I had my first sale to South America yesterday!
Marilia from Brasilia, Brazil bought this "shabby chic" style table runner. Thank you Marilia, and enjoy!
