{ sewing } Parade of Handmade Christmas: Table Runner

I'm telling you.  There was a reason this little blog was quiet in December.  I couldn't post ANYTHING without giving away secrets.

For Natalie, Christmas table runner + napkins

This table runner was for a girlfriend I have known for 4 years and never met in person.  We met online in a small group of moms who were due in March 2006.  Five of us still keep in touch almost daily and have exchanged gifts for years.   Natalie is a crafter, too, so I thought she'd appreciate a little handmade Christmas goody.

I used a combination of linen, flannel and quilting cottons.

My favorite part is the crazy machine quilting.  I'd never quilted anything so densely before, but the runner size made it easy to to.  And now I'm hooked.

This is the back.

And another shot of the front:

She got some coordinating napkins, too.  Just because.

Next up, monogram pillows.  And then I think I'm done.  Sheesh.
