Been busy making runners for my Christmas ladies luncheon this year. I've finished 1, just need to sew the backing on. The second and third ones have to have their backings cut out etc. The fourth one I've only done 4 squares, till 2 to go. Then only another 4 runners to make. My original idea was to make the floral leaf runner which I post a couple of weeks ago to match, the jury is still out on that one I'm afraid!!!!!
These take about 5 hours to make each runner!, so hence I'm not doing too much this year!
I think I'll have a Poinsettia theme!
Love Chris
1. Red, green and silver - for Chris (not me!)
2. Mustard, brown and cream - for Kaye
3. Teal, cream, blue - Stasia
4. Red, blue, gold - (not sewn together as yet) for Sue

Hi Chris... I love these table runners. I bought this design from SweetPea as well, but haven't gotten "my stuff" together to try one. I think that SweetPea gave me too many options for my little brain to handle! ha! Yours inspire me. It looks like you have done them in different orders for the different friends, so I don't need to spend a lot of intense thought on that (they all look awesome). I love them all.... but especially the one you've made for Stasia. Your friends will love these! --Sharon

Hi Sharon, yes, once you've organised the fabrics it's easy. You only need three pieces for each square. I've used the 5x7 design. I've only used 3 of the 4 designs on these runners. One of them is not as 'pretty' as the others. Stasia is a real Teal girl! Love Chris

Lovely work Chris and as usual your getting ready for Christmas leaves me speechless. I need a higher degree of organisation I think

Ha ha ha, we're lucky as it's Winter here and you feel like sewing more. Our summer this past December, January and February was horrendous. Some of our days it hit 47C!
Now when it's like that you can't even think of sewing. I feel for Sue having to sew in the heat. Love Chris

Sue has a cool house in the summer and lovely and warm in the winter

I am always amazed how fabric makes a difference. These are all great, but each looks different in their own way.

Chris you put us to shame with your organising skills, I also have this pattern untried as yet so better get my skates on and make one for myself. Marian

It's a great pattern Marian and I know you will do it justice. Love Chris

Chris, each year you manage to outdo yourself (and put us less organized/task oriented cuties to shame.) Geesh, woman, you'd put the Energizer Bunny to shame! Do you have him in Australia? I so envy your "ladies" They sure are a lucky bunch! Hugs*,

He he he! Yes, we have the Energiser bunny here! I sure don't sew as much as Carolyn, but what with all the things I have to do with family babysitting etc all afternoon Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I need to be organised. It's now Thursday and I've got the whole day up until 2.30 before I collect Dana's children. It's nearly 7.00am and the machine is humming away nicely. Love Chris
I bow to your prowess! :-)
