and time is the only cure! LOL But really, last week was my birthday, so I decided to make me a couple of table runner to keep and use for the holidays. The first one I completed in a day; but the second one took a couple of days and a trip to JoAnne's! They are both from quilting magazines. Thanks for looking!

Both are really, really nice. Whick magazine did you get #2 from? - its my favourite.

I knew you'd ask!! Both the runners are from Quilter's World. The Nutcracker one is from the Dec 2009 issue and the Poinsettia table runner is from the Dec 2007 issue.

Those are beautiful. I love the poinsettia one. Great job on both and thanks for sharing.

I probably got the nutcracker fabric at either Joanne's in Vancouver WA or Fabric Depot in Portland Oregon...but it was many years ago. I know I bought 3 yards because I just loved it, and now I am down to about half a yard and have not seen anything to replace it with!

Thank you for answering me. I will just have to keep on the hunt for it. LOL!
