Easy Christmas tablerunner

Remember my tablerunner with fall colors a few posts back? Well, I decided to make one for my sister for Christmas with some of my Christmas stash from last year. I love seeing blue in Christmas fabrics. How about you? I went out to Riverside on Veteran's day to have a craft day with my cousins. I helped them make some darling little waitress aprons for their girls while I worked on Hollie's tablerunner. Kathy happened to pick up some of the same fabrics I did so I gave her some of my extra strips to give her a jump start on her runner. She's thrilled with how it turned out. I think she's made like four already! Way to go Kath!  I sent off Hollie's last week and she called me yesterday and loves it. Mom got a table topper which unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of. Maybe I can get her to send me one and I'll post it later. After I sent of Hollie's, I was dying to make one for myself so I got busy and here's the result. It fits nicely on my little cedar chest table.

Again, here's the link to the wonderful tutorial: http://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2010/08/table-runner-tutorial.html

Wah-lah! Here's mom's table topper:
