Hello Friends, it’s lovely to have you visit again! Today, I am sharing with you my “Christmas Cheer” table runner that is featured in the Autumn 2013 issue of Quilter’s World.
This “inspired by old ceiling tiles” table runner uses template piecing method in its construction. If you have never tried template piecing, this is a small enough project for you to attempt the technique.

The fabrics I used are from RJR Fabrics’ Claridage Manor collection. Click here to view the entire fabric range. The fabrics are presently current. Look for them at your local quilt shops. Alternatively, you should be able to locate them online at www.quiltshops.com.
I pieced and quilted this table runner with Aurifil Mako 50 cotton thread. I share with you often I use Aurifl Mako 50 cotton threads to quilt my quilt, but I actually also use the same threads to piece and applique 98% of my quilts. The batting I used is Hobbs Tuscany Silk batting.
The quilting is a mixture of straight line quilting, pebbles, and feathers.
This table runner is one of three Claridge Manor projects I have featured in various magazines. So, stay tuned for more Claridge Manor projects to appear. Here are a couple more photos of the table runner…
Now, nosy mind wants to know if you fancy looking at old ceiling tiles too when you are out and about.
Thanks for stopping by. I always enjoy reading about what you think – let me take this opportunity to thank you again for your comments. And I am glad I squeezed in all my “Christmas in July” posts before July ends. I find it hard to believe July is just about over….
p.s. My workload is still crazy, but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
