These are pictures of my 2nd and 3rd projects. I really am pleased how they turned out. I had a cutting accident on the runner so I zigzagged the outer edge - which I think added to the finished look.
I made the table runner for my daughter who moved into her first house and the topper for my son, who is celebrating his first Christmas with his new wife. The cat wouldn't move from her cozy spot so my 4 year old is displaying the runner.
