OK, so I totally copied this idea from
Anina. I don't think she'll mind...I hope she takes it as a compliment. I loved hers, pumped her for information, then came up with this table runner. I love it. It was very fun to machine quilt, doing a different 'design' in each strip. While suffering with the flu last week, the B man had to tolerate the hum of the machine and my exclamations of glee after every little strip-quilt-stint in the middle of the afternoon. I like to click on the picture to see the detail and I recommend it to you because my picture taking skillz are lacking.
BUT, yesterday I viewed
Jacquie's very pretty runner and now don't love mine as much! Whew, I just can't keep up! I would like to have a table runner for every season or holiday, well... I already do ~ almost...moderation in all things. I used orange and green thread, but wasn't real brave to do it on the ivory colored strips, now I wish I would have. I used a gorgeous fabric on the back (forgot to photo it) that hides the quilting.
Now, can you notice?... this front door ditty is complete with found buttons and hanging apple tree branch? The buttons were lost in that little baggie for 2 months in my hmmm...where else, but my... SEWING ROOM! All this red, white and blue fluff around here is looking like I'm either 2 months late OR 10 months early!!! I'll take the later...
Take Care.~~~

I loved your fall table runners. Doesn't feel too much like fall here yet. I think it's been close to 100 degrees the last few days. I'm missing the beautiful fall colors of up north. Enjoy!
the flag is super and so is the table runner . Love them good job.
Ooh! It's lovely! I'm glad you figured it out.
I really do like the table runner, and the fabrics that you chose. The quilting looks fab too.
Machine quilting with your machine? and it works? Does that table runner happen to be my football field size? Just kidding, but maybe in yellow and blue.
Great, great runner!!! I can't wait till Fall. We are still hitting 90 here and humid. Wonderful flag :-)!
How beautiful. I really need to get out of my fog, and start sewing again.
Super cute! So is Anina's. Fun.
oooh i so disagree with you...this is so beautiful. i've been wanting to make one like anina's too. totally lovely!!!
I love the runner. Your quilting is great. What a fabulous idea.
Hi Diane, you have beautiful quilts. You are very talented. Kathi
what a great table runner!
I saw the table runner in person and it is absolutely fabulous!!
Oh I love the quilt - what great fabrics! And I'm tricked by the idea of a different quilting design in each bar. When I get more adventurous I will definitely give this a go!
I love it
