Are you looking ahead to the fall for new quilting ideas?  This cute runner will dress up any table and sews up fast!  I used up a lot of my scraps while making this project and only had to purchase a bit of orange fabric to complete it.  The pattern includes instructions for two sizes of runners and a topper.  The one I made is the small size, approx. 22” x 42”.  The larger size measures approx. 22” x 52” and the topper measures 32” x 32”.  Techniques used are simple piecing and machine appliqué, very fun if you are new to the quilting world or a veteran.  The pattern is available for purchase here at Schiller’s for $9.00.  Hope you will join us!
