Thanksgiving table runner

I wanted to make a simple table runner for Thanksgiving this year.

 

 

So I went to my Denyse Schmidt stash and pulled a couple of my favorite prints - actually, they are ALL my favorites!

They reminded me of leaves in the fall.

 

Here's my process:

I cut the center, 18" x 36".   (I didn't want to piece the backing)

The borders are cut 3" - I used 4 strips.  (again, I didn't want to piece the strips)

I quilted simple "long L's" in the border and small waves in the center.

 

 

I love the backing! 

 

 

 

Cute binding - I used 3 1/2 - 2.5" strips.
(it's from her Florence collection)

 

 

mmmmmmm -  pumpkin pie almonds - Thank you, Costco!

 

 

My little vintage glass jar holds my almonds all snuggly!

  

 

 I hope everyone can take a moment to express thanks for blessings in their lives. 

I am beyond grateful for my life.

Each of you bring joy into my life where we can share our gifts & talents.

Thank you, my friends.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
