I love table runners and I use them in places other than a tabletop....so I can use a lot of them. Good thing since I enjoy making them. I also like them since I enjoy hand-quilting and can do that quite easily on a runner. I am also enjoying learning my EQ7 and designing things that I can cut entirely with my AccuQuilt GO! cutter. This is a runner design I did on EQ7 Thursday night...
I decided to use fabrics from my stash to see if the pattern worked the way I expected it to work. I'm not crazy about the fabrics I used (and like the ones in my EQ design better) but I think this one will perk up a bit when I put the binding on it as I have enough of a bright blue to use for the binding. Here is the runner I made yesterday using my EQ design. It worked out perfectly....and everything was cut accurately and easily with my GO! Lots of fun....that's for sure! (It should enlarge if you click on the picture.)
Shortly after this posts on my blog, I will be heading into Lewes to work at the 44th annual art show run by my church. I choose the early shift (starting at 6:30 a.m.) as I can get a parking space at that time......and I then get done around 9:30 and can go look at the work done by the 140 artists who are in the show. It's a juried art show and is quite fantastic. Very rarely does an artist give up his or her spot....so there is a waiting list of folks to get into the show. Much of the artwork is too expensive for me, but I do enjoy looking! I will try to get some pictures.

I agree with you, the yellow and blue flower runner is the nicer of the 2. You sure are having a good time with the GO. I hope they are reading your blogs (AquaQuilt)
It's pretty!! Your just going to town with your new toys!!
Have fun at the art show!
Enjoy the show...cute runner!!
Beautiful Pat!! I am so tickled that you are designing your own projects...you may have to start selling patterns :0)
Crispy
Sounds like you are have a great time with your new toys. The runner is very nice.
I actually like the runner better with the green! (shock shock).
Have a great day at the show.
I'm really enjoying seeing what you're doing and learning with your 2 new toys. You're so inspiring!
Pretty runner! I like them both. The green one would work here...hint;-)Haha!
I may just have to get the EQ7 or wait for 8 to come out. Don't they release new ones in the Fall? I do have enough patterns and books here already to sew up
projects! WHY OH WHY must we always want more when we have just enough already!!
Enjoy the show.
Cool here so maybe it will be a fun comfy one this year.
the table topper looks wonderful!
have a happy holiday. we are picking up two grandkids today and will have them until Monday...so no sewing for me!
The table runner is very pretty, and I love your design. Have a great weekend.
I like the real one over the virtual one. The blue print seems to liven it up a lot. It will be an eye-catcher! Sounds like a fun art show. Happy Holiday weekend to all!
You are enjoying that EQ7 and the GO. Nice work, Pat. I like the table runners too.
That is a fabulous table runner Pat! You are getting to be the queen of quilting gadgets and whipping out those projects. So fun!
Pat, very cute runner. Since I am a hand quilter, I love working on table runners too. I was pleased when I made the Patriotic Shoo Fly, that the pieced borders fit perfectly. This was my first project with EQ7. I always have trouble getting pieced borders to fit, so it was a very pleasant surprise for me. Like you, I am having fun with my EQ7. Now I just need to save for a Go. Have a great 4th. Winona
The runner is nice - and I agree with you on the fabrics. I think the yellow competes to be the strongest color when the flowered one should be. Maybe a lighter yellow...
Have fun at the art show...
I like table runners and covers too, and yours is very pretty. It's a great weekend for an art show.
Sounds like you are have a great time and mastering your new toys. The runner is very lovely..
Julia ♥
