Quilting a Colorful Table Runner Christine Baker Winter is the perfect season to pull out your most colorful fabrics in your stash and make a table runner. It’s guaranteed to liven up the room and this pattern is quick to make in a week. Let’s plan our project! When I’m planning a design I usually lay out everything that I want to use for my sewing project and then look at it from different angles to see if everything works together. Fibre artist Lucy Garvin from WonderFil, told me that she loves to use their Mirage threads with batik fabrics, so I pulled some of them out of my stash. It looks like I’ll be able to use that rust colored Mirage thread after all!! 36 QUILTsocial .com ● winter 2014/2015 Selecting fabrics and threads for our project
