Table Runners ...and Toppers PATTERNS

The Simply Hearts Tablerunner from Cottage Quilt Designs. Free pattern is here: http://cottagequiltdesigns.info/free.htm

This links to a pdf file here:
http://cottagequiltdesigns.info/SHT.pdf

I'm giving the direct pdf link (though I don't like to do that) because the page that links to it is pretty generically named. Some day the site owner might decide to put up a different Free Pattern on that page!

I probably didn't follow the pattern exactly as written, BTW... and I made up the placemats! :flower:

Ok I have a table runner or two, will take pics and post, cant do it right now, about to go out and spend the evening looking for devils but I promise I will

Hey, I did one really similiar to that one... its on my table now... and I love it for the holiday...

Woo-hoo! I'm not alone here! :yahoo:

:peek: Somebody do me a favor and click on this and tell me if you are able to find a bunch of downloadable freebie table runner patterns:

I'm a member, so I don't know if I get to see different things than non-members do...

If that's NOT the case - then this list will keep you busy for a little while! Better go refill your :coffee1:

How Stuff Works has a whole page of free table runner patterns here:

and there's a very cool "Vintage Christmas" tablerunner/placemat pattern here:
http://www.redroosterfabrics.com/content5745.html

I don't see why it's called "Vintage" and I certainly can't imagine limiting myself to "Christmas" on that one. Maybe it's just the fabric line... :D

The All People Quilt link works fine. Haven't checked them all out yet, but it works.
I can tell I am going to hate you for this.

Well....took a whole pot of coffee and some determination....but I got thru those files and downloaded a bunch of them

Worked for me...I'll browse through them later...I'm off to get some sewing done!

FB do you have insomnia? I love all those patterns... Looks like this will be the year of tabletoppers not quilts.... :)

I'm glad the APQ link works. I'm trying not to overwhelm you, you know.

If you could see my dining table other than when company was due :affraid: I'd use table runners as, uh, table runners. But in my house, they come in handy for doilies. And last minute gifts. They magically become wallhangings when they're hung above a door frame or in that little narrow strip between the front door and the window...

Personally, I'm hoping to use them as protection from the Secret Santa's wrath...

:peek: PS - Gloria? I sleep from 1:45-7:30 Friday-Sunday nights (okay, Saturday-Monday mornings) and 1:45-8:30 the rest of the week. I am not opposed to naps.

here are a couple I have made in the past





this one was made to go with a kokopelli quilt that hung on the wall above the bookcase

Looks like Gimpy likes it... Very nice... both of them...

They're both gorgeous, GC!

Here's a quick runner that can look totally different every time you make it, depending on the fabrics you choose: Meow-Meow Cat Fabric Table Runner!



You can get to the free pattern from http://phyllisdobbs.info/free-pattern-meow-meow-cat-fabric-table-runner/ (wander around the site - there's some cute stuff!)

Thanks... certainly looks easy.... and fast... ;)

I think that was Pepper, not Gimpy. Norma

yeah thats Pepper Brat, I mean Pepper Cat, into everything that one, lilly sniffing here

Hey, Gimpy, Is your cat the quilt police? Looks like he's trying to examine the product. Are you stitches even. Are the points exact? MEOW (means yes is cat talk).

Pepper is getting big nice kitty.....

LOL..what a cute pic! When I had my Basset hound he always stopped to smell the roses along the front walkway. :spring1: I used to laugh and tell him what a cliche that was. Thanks for bringing me that fond memory.

Well pepper bites me all the time, so maybe Im not doing a good enough job and then Jasmine pokes her tongue out at me blowing raspberries and gimpy, well he just gives the golden eyed dragon glower - hmmmm, maybe I need to check my seams and points LOL

Well, darn I got on that sight the other day and looked at a few of them and had to leave and haven't been able to get on since!!! Hope I get in again, looked real good!! Norma

I made up a couple of table toppers today... the purple is for me and the brown is a gift for DDIL....

Golo I really like them laura went nuts for them, she says they look like jelly fish with eyes LOL, love the stripey border fabrics, really funky
