In the form of a free sewing project for you!
I have been putting a bit of spring into my living room decor by discovering the heady world of making table runners. Quick, easy and perfect for injecting a bit of seasonal splendour (without the rain bit) into your home.
Having become a bit of a convert/table runner making factory, I have been stitching up a forthcoming storm of them, so expect more in terms of dresses for tables from now on.
It all started with this 'Strawberry Fields' charm pack by Joanna Figueroa for Moda, perfectly reminiscent of salmon and cucumber sandwiches and strawberries and cream on lazy summer picnics (there's precuts on sale here).
So if you fancy dressing up your own table with a little spring love...
I've got the perfect weekend project for you here,
Download Strawberry Split Table Runner by aneela hoey
Have fun but please don't blame me if you suddenly procur a taste for teatime scones with strawberry jam and iced mint tea.
Talking of which, I had better switch the oven on...
Have a great weekend!!!
I adore that line - it looks beautiful in your table runner!

very pretty, aneela! i love how quickly smaller quilts like this come together. they are a much easier time commitment than full sized projects!

Oh Aneela, this is perfect! I think I'll start this today. I've got some charm packs hoarded in my stash ;).

Many thanks for this fab tutorial. Fabric choice is gorgeous too. I can see a bigger table runner making a lovely picnic blanket in these summery prints. Jxo

What a perfect project - I need a new table runner and even better recently bought myself a Strawberry Fields charm pack "just because" - now I have a lovely pattern to use it with. Thank you SO much, Aneela!
