Fall leaves are a favorite of my customers so I had to get a supply of them ready. The leaves are paper pieced. I guess I have lots of scraps in these colors, at least these help use some up!
I was going for a bit of a modern feel with the quilting of straight lines on the black background.
This runner is from a pattern in Anka's Treasures newest book. I love using grey with snowmen, as you know, so why not with snowflakes! I love how it came out. I actually pieced this one while on our big vacation. The swirl hooks got quilted on after we got home.
Hope you all had a great weekend. We spent it biking on our Terra Trikes, and kayaking which makes it a great summer weekend. It was 77 degrees and the teeniest of breezes.

all great runners, lovely star points and those leaves are just WOW, and the last one reminds me on scandinavia :)
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but I love the leaves the best!
ReplyDeleteDitto Gayle from above! I love those leaves! You've made some beautiful table runners! Are these for the craft sale also?
ReplyDeleteI just love the fall colors of the leaves, they sure do pop against the black! All of your runners are pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely runners. I love the folded star point idea. I've seen this done before but the folded pieces would be rolled back and stitched in place making a curved point. I think I like your version better. Thanks for linking up at Podunk Pickin's.
ReplyDeleteAll the runners are lovely, but the snowflake one really caught my eye. I also like the star points and the interest they give. It would take a bit of caution quilting around them but worth it! Thanks for sharing your runners on MCM. :)
ReplyDeleteThose all look terrific. I agree, quilting around those dimensional points would be a bit of a pain. Love your leaves runner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table runners Vicki! The stars look neat with the quilting and I can see how you would have to be careful quilting them.....well worth the effort though!
ReplyDeleteA big bunch of table runners! I love the fall runners, perfect color choices! The snowflake is really gorgeous! I think its the colors you picked...perfection!
ReplyDeleteI like Heather Petersons designs. You've got a great eye for color -- those leaves are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely table runners and great quilting Vicki. I love the snowflakes on the grey background.
ReplyDeleteLovely table runners and great quilting Vicki. I love the snowflakes on the grey background.
ReplyDeleteI do think that the red and white against that lovely gray is my favorite. The stars in the first table runner are very interesting and I like the look they give it, but can definitely see how you would have to be careful quilting around them.
ReplyDeleteI love the snowflakes and the leaves with their modern quilting.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are getting nicely prepared for fall and winter. It is hard to pick a favorite. Thanks for sharing them with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteGreat table runners......I like the leaves....so colorful. I really like the quilting on all of the runners.
ReplyDeleteLovely runners and those leaves are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFAbulous eye candy here as always Vicki! I've done those 3D triangles too and they do provide quite the interest! Yeah, I seem to recall a bit of an issue, more of an annoyance, with quilting them. Love your circle/ribbon design on the black skinny strip.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table runners. I can see why the leaves are a favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely table runners! I love the scrappy leaves. Those colors just scream autumn. Beautiful!
