I saw this gorgeous runner a couple of months ago over on Thimbelinas blog. I fell in love with the fabric, Verna by Kate Spain for Moda, and ordered a charm pack from Lisa of Lydias Treasures. Check out Lisa's blog here. The runner is a Moda Bake Shop pattern by Vicki E of Spun Sugar Quilts.
It was a really quick wee runner to make, I cut my strips 5 x 1.5 inches as I wanted mine to be a bit longer than the original. I wasn't confident at machine stitching my binding so, it took me a while to hand stitch the binding down last night. It was great to get a project finished(not always my strong point. lol) This was such a fun little quilt, I think I might try another one in different fabrics(maybe my new favourite Martinique by Moda) next time.
If you were participating in the Friday Night Sew-In I hope you had a productive evening too.
Till next time...............Happy Stitching

I LOVE this little runner, machine quilting in strait lines is SO effective :oD
This is something I will defiantly write down on my Early Bird Christmas crafting list.
Have a great weekend
All the best hk
I love it!
Oh Nicky, I love this runner! I can see so many possibilities. Did you machine quilt all the straight lines... looks a bit like hand quilting to me. Lovely!
Very pretty quilting. Great way to use charm packs or scraps.
Hello Nicky,
Just love it,I think the quilting really sets it off. Another project finished.
Happy Days.

Hi, Nicky! Just wanted to pop-in to let you know how much i love your table runner! You did a fantastic job on it. It's so nice to see lil' ol' Verna in such good hands. BTW, i love New Zealand...was there in college and traveled around the South Island a good bit. What part do you live in? Happy sewing to you. Hugs, kate
hi Nicky, so nice to meet you today. Love the table runner, and yep... Martinique is one of my current Moda faves too!!
Hi Nicky, what a gorgeous blog you have. Your tabler runner is absolutely stunning. It was so lovely to meet you today. Hope you're not too tired after your day away.
hugs Deb
I don't know how I missed this post, but I think that your table runner is absolutely stunning. I love those Martinque fabrics too and jut bought a couple layer cakes to make a quilt. I can't wait to cut into them.
What a beautiful runner! Love your farics and your quilting really sets it off!

Hi Nicky - me again! I found your link to what a Friday Night Sew In was and love this runner you have made. I have been trying to find something for ages to replace one that I have but wasn't sure on a quilted one - until now. Very stylish. This looks like something that perhaps a complete beginner (me!) could try - am I on the right track with that thought?
