    This is the table runner I made for my BIL & SIL to commemorate their farm becoming a "Century Farm". I used the "Centennial Tree" and "Old Red Barn" blocks from Quilters Cache free patterns, altering the "Old Red Barn" to have the tractor in it instead of just doors. The barn block was a PP block, which was a new experience for me. I thought it was a fun and challenging block & I will definitely be doing more PP in the future. I also machine embroidered all the information on the back along with the date.

    Thanks for the compliments, everyone. The celebration was back in July and I gave it to them then. My SIL cried & BIL thanked me, said that it was very special, and gave me a big hug as soon as they opened it. I almost cried too! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of them with it that day, there was just too much going on!
