I will try to load these in order but it will take a bit because I am computer challenged. This is how I do the Poinsettia table runner and the Water Lily table topper.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]435017[/ATTACH]You can do these any size you want. My templates are shown as tracing templates. The seam allowances MUST be added.

Close up of top stitching that I do. You can stitch as you want. Hopefully you can follow the steps

Beautiful runner, fantastic tute . Love the idea of the runner for Christmas but a bright yellow for the summer would be so bright.

SueDor 09-10-2013 02:11 AM

Really cute idea!

These are so innovative and beautiful! Thankyou for the tutorial.

Thank You for the great tutorial. So easy to understand and beautiful finish.

Dollyo 09-10-2013 05:23 AM

How do you attach the flowers together to make a runner? Love the tutorial. Great Idea!!!

Sorry about that Dollyo, this is what happens when you have done the same pattern several times. You forget that not everyone else has....you make as many of the 4 circle sections as you want. The sections are then joined by reversing the direction that the last 2 side petals are sewn. I stitch these ones together facing the back and then simply stitch close to the edge with matching thread so they lay flat. Pictures to follow.

For summer, white petals - big yellow button or many smaller yellow buttons or applique center for daisies. Gold petals, brown center for black-eyed Susans. The possibilities are endless. Just added another project onto my already lengthy todo list.

Tks Tartan for a fantastic tute & I love these. I see you believe in the KISS principle - Keep It Simple Sweetie.......
The runners are simple but beautiful !!

Just recd templates from MSQC for this....did not say what to do with that football one...now I know....thanks for your excellent tutorial

0tis 09-10-2013 08:33 AM

This is such a good idea - I love your tutorial - now to get my Christmas fabric out - the bonus is I can use my Layer Cakes for this. Thanks for the great tute. Question - What size are the petals - I did not see any size indication. Thanks. Otis

BettyGee 09-10-2013 08:37 AM

Tartan, you are a genius! I love this and it will be put to use within the next few days as I have begun my Christmas projects. Thank you for all your work and for sharing.

0tis 09-10-2013 08:38 AM

I think I just answered my own question - I looked at the pic again and looks like the petals are 6" from tip to tip.

Tartan 09-10-2013 09:06 AM

The reason I didn't specify a size for the petal, was in case you did a different size circle. Do you see the stitching line on the side of the circle? That is one half of the petal shape from the line to the circle edge. Take a piece of paper and trace that shape ( whatever size circle you decide to do) fold the paper in half and cut the whole petal. Transfer this to a piece of template plastic or cardboard and make sure to add your seam allowance after tracing the shape.
