Xmas Table Runner


I commenced this Xmas runner back in June as a pre curser to a challenge for the CWA group that I am in. I found the pattern of the five trees on the internet. After hand appliqueing all the pieces, I then proceeded to machine quilt it. After my first attempt at machine quilting Thomas The Tank Quilt I thought it best to keep trying. The more practice the better. However I did over machined it and found I eventually pulled some parts out. All the materials used was from my stash. The wadding was the smallest I had but after putting it in I was not happy with the results . . .  wobbly edges. I noted since that other people iron on a paper thin batting, which I'll buy  for the next table runner. I wasn't happy with it on my dining table because it didn't sit flat so after a friend's suggestion I used it for the piano stool cover. It looked rather nice there.
