Little green Christmas trees.
 

I bought Christmas applique from Designs by JuJu. It is a series of holiday applique, but, the little Christmas trees just really appealed to me. It did not take too long to stitch out and I used up some green scraps (very little, actually) and it just sort of took on a life of its own. It was like when you see ouiji boards in horror movies, my hands just reached out for fabric. It ended up 16 x 36 inches, just right for my kitchen table. I used a die to cut the piano keys border, die saved a ton of time. I found a piece of dark green velvet and used it for the backing, with no batting. Velvet is not great to sew as it does not want to "move" so it was a battle outlining the trees. For the rest of it, I used a walking foot and that was much easier to maneuver. It looks like it belongs there and is so cheerful.

What a pretty table runner! I love the shape of those little trees. You did a fantastic job on a very pretty, seasonal runner. Thanks for sharing.

Adorable! I'd want to leave it out all year. And, you totally could.

Very pretty, adorable trees.

Nice runner.

trees are so nice, great job !

Terrific trees! They make a great runner!

great table runner. I can't do beautiful edging like that, so I usually do needle turn applique. The velvet is lovely, too.

really cute
