christmas runner

I was in mad dash to get this finished in time for Christmas.  That didn’t happen.  I had sewing machine issues which are now taken care of.  Because of the issues I had I made the decision to hand quilt the runner.  I’m very glad I mad that decision because I love how it’s quilted.  And it gave me an excuse to do some experimenting.  I think it’s half quilted half embroidered.  Either way I love the way it turned out.

This is my first quilt project that I did myself from beginning to end.  It’s hand pieced and hand quilted.  I used the machine to sew the binding on, and then hand sewed the back down. 

I’m very glad I forced myself to keep working on this since Christmas was over.  If I hadn’t it would never have gotten done.  I have another one in the pieceing stage for Mom.  I’m thinking she may get it next Christmas season.
