Hello Cuties! I started these Christmas Dresden plates for a quilt, but I changed my mind about half way through and decided to make these 2 runners. Hope you can see the quilting. I meandered or stipple quilted the circle center and in the white background. I straight stitched 1/4 in away from the Dresden and the little square’s seams. Runners are reversible. I don’t know which picture shows better, on the sofa or the floor😉
I hope all is well with all of you❤️-Toogie

Here is one of the runners I gave Carol on her island.
Read my response to crafters comment below.
She sent this picture when she got home.

They are the same. I already gave one away today to my friend Carol that just lost her husband & daughter. When we had our Show & Tell time I bought a runner along with the Skateboard quilt I turned in. We decided for our Dec meeting we wouldn’t exchange gifts but IF we wanted to, we could make a ‘door prize’. Carol voiced that I could bring the runner for a door prize. When my husband came for our awards ceremony I asked him if he minded me giving it to Carol because he help with the cutting & pressing seams. Of course, he said give it to her. She was moved to tears and sent me a picture of it on her island when she got home.
