I've had a productive day, well for me. I now have 4 completed Christmas table runners and they look amazing. Only 3 to go! The finished size is roughly 28 inches.

I just put this design together in my EQ5 (Electric Quilt) programme.

I'm off now to collect the grand-children from school. Have a great night/day, love Chris

1. The completed 4 Table Runners
2. The runner in pieces - as I was sewing them.

Ha ha Vicki! My sister does that. I've never tried it but it would be lovely and cold here in July, as you know it's our winter then. Love Chris

Hi Ethan, no these are just for my annual Christmas ladies luncheon, to be held in early December. Each lady will get one as a gift to take home. My theme this year is Holly! Love Chris

Wow Chris, you've been so busy, and you're right: you can start never early enough with the Christmas gifts.
Love your table runners.
Hugs, Angelika

Thanks Maria, but these are not for Christmas as such, but for my friends at my annual ladies luncheon. The one I've made for me is in a previous post if you look at my name under projects. Love Chris

Thanks I hope they do. These are much easier than the one I did originally - I've decided to keep that one, he he he! It was too much work. Love Chris

Ha, these are so easy Vicki. I need to do these early as I have so much else going on in my life. I need to stretch out the making of them. I'm in awe of your digitising skills! Love Chris

Wowzer! i am jealous also! 4 completed in a day! That is amazing. The electric quilt? What does it do?

No Chris, these weren't all completed in one day. I've been doing these for a few weeks. I did do a whole day of cutting out and putting them together over time. I only do 1 a day at the moment. I only like to sit at the machine for so long these days!!! Love Chris

EQ5 is a programme that lets you design quilts. It's not very expensive - I think it's up to EQ7 now. Have a Google of it and you can see what it does. Love Chris

This is a lovely project for your luncheon! I like the little holly design. It's just the right embellishment for the crispness of the runners. Good work!

Perfect embroidery design for the Christmas fabric.. It would be pretty on coordinating napkins also. Can't wait to see what is next. Kay
