Hi, I just finished my snowman runner, and tried the tube block out of some strips I had left. Wow, making the tube block was fun! Will try more of them...

Beautiful table runner...do you collect snowmen?? Love the blocks too - your work is so precise, and the color sense is perfecto!

Your runner is darling! I love snowmen! Aren't Tube Blocks fun? I've made one runner from tube blocks that I'm hoping to get quilted today.

You coordinated colors with your plates so closely, you must have a keen eye to do such lovely work.

Barbm 12-02-2009 06:49 AM

lovely! I collect snowmen too. Our office is decorated in snowmen. Love your table runner- where did you purchase your pattern?

(Love the tube block, think I'm going to try them)

Beautifal :-D I love the colors. What are you going to make with the tube block? I haven't tried a tube block yet but I'm going to. You've been getting alot of sewing done. I'm jelious.

Beautiful and cute.

Sweet!

Marcine 12-02-2009 01:57 PM

Thanks so much for the nice compliments....

Marcine 12-02-2009 02:00 PM

Thanks so much. I found the pattern on line and I could email it to you if you would like it. Just send me a private message with your email address. Marcine

Marcine 12-02-2009 02:07 PM

Thanks so much. Yes, the tube blocks are so fun. Who ever thought that up is ingenious. Have you made several? Does the lighter fabric always have to be on top of the tube?

Marcine 12-02-2009 02:11 PM

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments... really makes a person feel so good.

Deb watkins 12-02-2009 02:13 PM

Very nice for the season! You did a gret job. I still have to do the tube, just so many other projects get ahead of it.

thismomquilts 12-02-2009 02:22 PM

Love both of them - really like blue/white together!

jbsstrawberry 12-02-2009 03:25 PM

How pretty!! You matched your plates so very well! Your tube blocks look just perfect! I'm really going to have to try those soon.

Joan 12-02-2009 03:25 PM

Love the runner---it looks so nice with your snowmen plates, perfectly matched!

Stunning. Looks great with your plates. Love the pattern.

kat112000 12-02-2009 06:08 PM

I LOOOOVVVEEE Snowmen!! That is a gorgeous runner (and plates too!!)

I am dying to try tube quilting, but have way too many projects of the go now, so that one is waiting until after Christmas.

montanaquilter 12-02-2009 06:15 PM

what a beautiful table runner! i love it!!

Janstar 12-02-2009 06:18 PM

Nice job Marcine! The snowmen are so cute and your table runner matches so well.

Alaskan lady 12-02-2009 07:08 PM

Love the tablerunner. Am partial to snowmen. I've never heard of the tube block so I am intrigued. I really like the crochet table cloth that it is pictured on top of. Very nice.

Just tried the tube with a friend today. She used a light for the wide strip, I chose a red paisley. Both looked good. (Will post pics later.) That's part of the fun--playing with fabric. OBTW the first pic with the plates is very pretty!

Sharon M 12-02-2009 08:41 PM

Great job :thumbup: I just love snowmen and they are fun to decorate with because they aren't just for Christmas.
Your blues are beautiful, soft yet a little icy looking. Looks great with your plates!! Thanks for sharing with us.

henryparrish76 12-02-2009 11:18 PM
