Last year I told the girls to pick table runners they might like for me to make for them, this was one of SG’s choices.

Mine from August, 2021
With minimal background fabric on hand, I reduced hers by 4 vertical strips. I had “just” enough to make the top and bind it.

I used leftover charm squares from my runner, and I still have leftovers! I started this on Wednesday night and had it quilted by Saturday afternoon. Which was perfect since we drove south to lunch with them on Mother’s Day.

I quilted lines, with different color threads, intersecting through each square in both directions.

The backing was leftover from the Picnic Quilt. I used a blue bobbin thread instead of matching each top thread. I hope she likes it and uses it on her table. She and EG were under the weather when I delivered it, so admiring it wasn’t high on her radar, the food we brought was her focus! She is finally feeling better, while EG now takes over her ailments. LOL We ate on the patio in the warm sunshine to avoid bringing anything home with us!

During her time off she discovered a momma fox and 5 kits, the 5th one was lazing in the yard nearby. She’s been watching them frolic in her yard. So cute! Except for the bunnies and chickens momma brings for feeding time. Ick
Have a FO to share today? Check the side bar for Friday link ups.
If you would, please keep Squish in your thoughts. She is fighting a horrible rash that we just can’t figure out. Poor mite! Her body is covered in welts this week, so we’re trying to get her in to the Dr.
Cute little runner. I’m sure SG loves it. Glad you could spend Mother’s Day with them. Hope they recover soon. Fun photo of the foxes. It’s an unusual sight for me. Fox are around here, but elusive. Sorry about Squish’s outbreak. Hope a remedy is forthcoming.
Thanks Judy. They say it’s baby eczema, but we’re not sure. It’s taken many forms and outbreaks, so who knows. We are hoping it’s not their huskies.
Beautiful runner-I can see why she liked it-modern and still classy!
I will be praying for Squish and a prognosis for relief!
Thanks, it’s perfect for charm packs and mini charm packs. We are hoping it’s an easily explained contact issue, not an internal one.
Cute runner, did you make up the design or follow a pattern?
Thanks, it’s from the book Tabletastic, great book.
OH NO, Chris! Poor Squish baby. I hope they’re not itchy. SG’s runner turned out so cute. I just LOVE the background fabric. It doesn’t its job nicely by enhancing all those pretty colorful squares. I hope you get Squish’s rash figured out. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
Thank you Roseanne! We hope so too. I do love those jewel tones on that dark gray, just perfect!
great table runner for SG!
Thanks!!
Sending lots of good thoughts for Squish!!!
What a lovely table runner – and such a great idea!!
Thank you! Unfortunately it is baby excema. 😞
Prayers for quick relief for Squish! The foxes are just beautiful 🙂 I love the runner – so modern and lively!
