Fall tablerunner & Texas memories

First off, I want to welcome all of the new followers to my blog!  Thanks to The Quilt Show’s Blog and the Quilting Board featuring my Cookie Plate Crumb Catcher, I have made some new friends!  That is a huge compliment to me and I am so grateful to have you.

Let me show you my latest project.  I finished a fall table runner that I just sent off in the mail as a thank you for some great southern hospitality.

Fall Table Runner by Julie Cefalu, The Crafty QuilterAll I had to do was stitch the binding down and it only took me two years!  Because of that time lapse, I don’t have any of the fabric details.  The center squares were from a panel and they look like they were appliqued, but they’re printed on.

Fall Table Runner by Julie Cefalu, The Crafty QuilterI love the rich color palette; so much so that I made two runners.  One for me and one to give away.
