I wanted to create a Valentine table runner for my Etsy shop. So I looked around on the net and found a cute paper pieced heart by Pieced By Number and asked if I could make it into a table runner to sell, the answer was yes.
After paper piecing five heart blocks I added a 1" spacer of gray to make it a bit longer. before adding the pink and red borders.
I followed the lines of the fabric in the border to quilt the piano keys.
I had the perfect backing fabric in my stash-well the whole table runner came from my stash. No trip out in the cold 5 degree day to get any of it.

Etsy shop.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou made it - all finished for friday! It looks great by the way! I don't think you have to get permission to sell items made from a pattern. That is the point of a pattern - to make things. Pattern writers only have copywrite. Which means you can't sell their pattern.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Did you find the paper piecing to go quickly? That is one of my 'learning opportunities' for this year.
ReplyDeleteYou are really planning ahead. I usually think about Valentine’s Day after the first of February. Your runner looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour table runner is so sweet! Your fabrics are perfect. Nice finish!
ReplyDeleteCute runner!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty Vicki! I especially like how the quilting in the grey allows the hearts to really pop. I bet it will sell quickly!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute runner! I'm not usually a fan of hearts, but this one I really, really like! This won't stay in your shop long, I think! Nice work, Vicki!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteWOW - really nice table runner. Perfect for Valentine's Day! I love the paper pieced hearts - both colors compliment each other so nicely. I'll bet this will be snapped up quickly! I'll be happy to hear just how quickly. ~smile~ Roseanne
This is terrific Vicki! How nice of the pattern designer to allow you to sell them too. :-) Maybe this year I'll get my Valentine cushion/pillow sewn and into a pattern...
ReplyDeleteYou're so organized, already sewing for Valentine's Day! This is a darling piece. I can see why you were drawn to that pattern. I like the diagonal piecing in the hearts, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful runner! Your skill is amazing on this. I hope to learn how to do this paper piecing. That's one of my goals. I just love every thing about this runner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great make, Vicki! Beautiful colors and lovely modern design. And so thoughtful of you to give credit and free advertising to the designer. Way to think ahead for your Etsy store! What are you asking for it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet table runner! And it's perfect because it's not only done, but done in plenty of time for Valentine's Day! Wonderful.
