Winter Table Runner

you can see the oops in my quilting at the bottom of the tree.  That is all fixed now as you can see at top.

A month or so ago, my friend Sandy of Quilting for The Rest Of Us took a ride to the Finger Lakes area to go to some Amish fabric and country stores.  I love to go there down Penn Yan way.  We kind went a little crazy buying fabric, for sure I did.

One of the stores, called the Quilt Room, sells some fabric but they are more of a gift store.  They have these table runners that I have been wanting for a while but I just could not hand over 58 dollars for them seeing how I coould easily make them.  After some research online I found a pattern suitable.  The pine trees are from About.com and the rest I kind of made up.

After that store we went to another store that has some wonderful fabrics and didnt I find the exact material that was in a runner at the other store.  I quickly came home and whipped it up.

This was before I decided to frame in the check boxes.
