Almost a year ago I was the giveaway winner of a couple of charm packs by Bonnie & Camille over on Moda Lissa's blog. The Ruby and Bliss fabric lines with reds and aquas in these charms are just beautiful! But I haven't used them yet!
Fast forward to yesterday when I finally decided to dig them out and make something--and I really had to dig because there's, unfortunately, no rhyme or reason to my fabric stash!
I started making a disappearing nine-patch table runner following Rachel's instructions over at ps i quilt blog. Here's what I completed already below, and the sandwiching, quilting, and binding will be done today.I've made several runners from this easy pattern in the past, and I just love seeing them in friends' homes knowing they're getting good use from them.
One table runner resides in Prince Edward Island, and I spot it sometimes over on Island Sparrow's blog (see #4 in her list). Another lives with Rose in Australia.
This one will go to live with a local friend when the girls and I have lunch with her tomorrow. It will double as a hostess gift and an early Valentine's thinking-of-you gift. I hope she likes it!
That's what I'm up to so far this week!
Edited to add a photo of the table runner in its new home:

I LOVE this pattern and just completed one last week! I used the Moda Le Petit Poulet charm pack to make a runner for my sister in law who was visiting from France. Le Petit Poulet means "the little chicken" and you know what?! The way the fabric was cut, all I had were a few little chicken feet...not a whole chicken at all! Funny, but sad. It did turn out nice, though, because of the French inspired fabrics that were a part of the charm pack. Your table runner is beautiful and I know your friend will love it!

That's so pretty! I made some napkins using fat quarters from this fabric. I love the red + aqua combination!

Pretty pretty!! Love the colours Deb! Sarah painted her bedroom a very bright aqua and she has red accents in her decorating. It's such a pretty colour combination. Your table runner will be lovely - just as mine is :) xo

And Rose in Australia adores hers.

Oh, the fabrics are great, and it looks terrific. I'd have a hard time giving it away. I know they will love it!

Beautiful!! Great pattern as well, quick but with such satisfying results. Have fun at lunch and I know your friend will feel very honored to receive such a "love gift"!
