Happy Holly-Daze!!!!

Perhaps I got a a little carried away with the holly, in fabrics and FMQing?
Thus, the name for this runner!! :D

I made this for my "adopted" family's Christmas swap.
Did the photo ops and totally forget to photo the label, as well as measure it.
From what I remember when choosing/cutting the backing, finished size is approx. 15"x67".
All the fabrics, came from my stash ... love stash shopping! :)

Honestly, the straight line quilting was far harder to do, than the FMQ'd holly!!
Thanks for looking ..... and a Happy New Year to you!

So pretty. I love the holly quilting and it definitely isn't too much holly IMO. The name is great, though. I'm sure whoever received it was very pleased.

She was quite pleased and I was too, that she managed to scoop it.
In fact, the same "sister" who got Fr♥sty, two years ago! :)

"sigh" love the table runner QuiltE, your quilting really sets off the design, just perfect :thumbup::thumbup:

QuiltE 01-02-2015 03:08 PM

Keep this up Ladies ... and you will be giving me a real puffy head! :D
The last few days, I have finally been doing something for me
... and yes, more holly fabric, but no holly FMQing this time. I didn't think it would fit this time.
