XMAS RUNNER TUTORIAL

I hope everyone can understand this... it really is very simple... 1/3 yd and 1/2 yd (back and borders)

VERY cool! What measurements did you use?

thanks FB... I corrected... just use the full yardage and it comes out about 40" long

Not only are the instructions good, the little presentation is so cute. You guys are so clever. I do good to post a picture.

Thanks Golo, I really like this. Will try as soon as I can.

(I made the hexagon one you shared, came out very nice. I need to make another.)

glad to hear that, TXM... hope you are feeling better...

Oh thats wonderful Golo, now 'runners for dummy Gimpy' can be understood, thank you for not only making another one but taking the time to photograph and set up the smile box My brain is like a deep or maybe shallow?? pool of mud, some things just arent computing at the moment and darned if I could conceptualize how to get the points on the end, now I know. Thank you xoxox

PS This is the coolest way to watch a tutorial!

I taught a class tonight to the gals at open sewing... some made two of them ... they were all thrilled to make them and excited to give them as gifts... every ones was of different fabric and just beautiful...

How many people at your class? Oh how exciting, Im so glad they had fun, of course they would with you to tutor them. Were lots of fabric variation in what was made? Sounds like a fun night

What a great tutorial and cute presentation! This would be a good one for a quickie hostess gift.

CC right on ... if you have 15 to 20 minutes you have it made.... some of the gals did fall ones with leaves and autumn colors, some did Halloween with pumpkins and skeletons etc and one did a beautiful one with a large black flower and silver with a brown border... it was beautiful... could see it with a white poinsettia on it and others were just pretty Xmas pine fabrics.. any combination was lovely.... there were 7 gals there... a very friendly bunch..

I'm with you Gimpy. Very foggy between the ears. Pictures help soooo much. And the smilebox is great!

Glad you had a good class Golo. Would love to have seen all the variations. One of my favorite things is to see an item made up in a bunch of different ways.
DH just informed me last night that a guy at work is getting married Saturday and wanted to know if I had something "laying around" to give as a gift. Maybe this is the ticket. No layering, quilting, etc. Might have to try.

Thanks for the well wishes Gloria. Getting there slowly but surely.

NEAT!!! Want to give it a try!

Just reposting this tutorial... seeing how the holidays are coming up soon... made two of these last weekend....

Timely reminder Golo. I did enjoy making these last year but you know what? I don't have one! Maybe this year.

One for fall might be nice too..thanks for the reminder

Thanks for the repost! I need to try one of these!

One of the gals made one tonight at open sewing... the center fabric was all pumpkins and the back was a swirlly black.... turned out just darling....

memaw, try googling 10 Minute Table Runner and see if you can get the pattern from a university that first posted it....

Just love the way you did this tutorial Golo.. this is so you...love it!!
