Wendy’s Table Toppers
Hi Friends,
I hope you’ve had a good week!! I have a couple of super cute runners to share with you, that Wendy and her mom made. You’ll never believe this…or maybe it’s just me…the designs are both machine embroidered. Yep!! Awesome huh?!?!! They do have hand embroidery patterns as well.
This is the Santa Quartet! Table Runner by Bird Brain Designs. You can select if you’d like a hand or machine embroidered pattern.
Wendy asked that I have fun with the quilting, which is great for me!! I love to add personality and texture to a quilt. Super cute!!!
I quilted Swirls in the checkered border, and Overlapping Circles to the background behind the Santas. Which are a couple of the designs that I teach in my Quilting It Freemotion™ course!! If you’ve been wanting to learn how to freemotion quilt, you should check it out!!!
I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline Textiles out of Ogden Utah. I also used a natural white Omni thread from Superior Threads. It is my favorite neutral thread!! I use that color more than any other. Color number is 3002.
The next runner that Wendy and her mom machine embroidered is the Snow Happens pattern by Bird Brain Designs. Please note that you have to select the pattern type you want, which you can do for both runners, if you scroll down in the links I provided.
This fun runner got Pebbles in the background, because um they are snowman…and I just love that texture around embroidery. It helps the design pop!
Just because…winter is coming to an end here in northern Utah!! Today was 58°. The snow is fast Lu melting. Hallelujah! Spring is my favorite season so I am so excited.
Back to quilting…Swirls, Loops, and ribbon candy in the borders, adds so much fun texture! Freemotion quilting is nothing to be scared of…it’s actually quite fun to try new designs. Do you have any questions about my Quilting It Freemotion™ course? I have some quilters who watched my course, and this is what they had to say.
Thanks for coming on by!! I hope you’re safe and well. Take care and happy quilting. • Leisha
