Xmas Table Runners 2010

Still on my fabric/stash diet, these table runners were made for my aerobic dance instructors Lynn and Carmie out of fabrics I already owned. Lynn's is a symmetrical, on-point version of Gentleman's Fancy with embroidered motifs in the center of each block: angel, poinsettia, dove with holly.

I was going to make Carmie's using the same pattern as Lynn's and had even gotten so far as to cut fabric. I thought better of it and used the embroidered blocks (holly, pine, mistletoe) as the center of scrappy log cabin blocks; I was very happy with the result.
