For Karen

 Karen's Table Runner

A couple of years ago my SIL saw the

table runner I put together (with help from several CQ friends) for my

daughter Samantha @ Three Men and a Lady

see her table runner here

and wanted one, too.

So I began collecting fabrics and deciding on

a pattern; 

Blossoms & Butterflies by This & That's Sherry Falls

Then everything sat and waited its turn

to come to life.

I liked this patten because of its shape.

 Karen is into blues, so this was fun to do

because blue is not a color I normally work in, 

and I love being stretched, creatively.

The flowers are appliqued,  I like

to do raw edge, putting a buttonhole/blanket stitch on by hand.

I used Sassa Lynne thread for this.

Now I have to tell you that I was in a rush to do this

because I was going to see Karen in a week, so put everything 

else aside and made this up, SOOOO, I forgot 

to take finish pictures.  DUH.

Maybe Karen will take some for me and I can show you the finished piece in its new home.

 The flower also has 4 pink french knots in the center, on the finished piece.

A close up of the center blocks.  I quilted it with

stitch in the ditch, and an outline of the flowers.

Next up.......
