So I’m sure anyone following my progress have seen the Blackford’s Beauty group I did, calling them “The Seasons”. I mentioned the runner I planned, and also posted the Christmas candle mat I’m sending the folks for Christmas to accompany the runner. The mat was fairly easy, though I did learn a bit more about the walking foot. With the runner I’ve learned to rip fabric (thanks for the suggestion) and more about easing fabric when stitching long pieces of fabric. So, with this in mind I’m posting the progress of the runner. I’ll post as I go and hope you enjoy the pics. Hopefully it will be a nice piece when finished. I’ve back tacking and then quilting next, then about 200 prairie points to cut, fold, iron and pin, before sewing and then hand stitching (hidden stitch) the back on. Let me know if you’ve any suggestions. I’m learning a lot from you all in short order and it’s all appreciated.
I've safty pins in and am going to baste the blocks by hand as well...
