Brighten Your Table with Colorful Flowers
Matching Hot Pads Make a Lovely Set!
Brighten up your table with this charming table runner. The fresh, colorful flowers are given a bit of whimsy with butterflies and yo-yo berries.
Use parts of the applique design to create matching place mats or make companion hot pads for protecting the table (add Insul-Bright batting for heat proofing). The runner can also be hung as a wall banner anywhere around the home.
Construction is simple, even for beginning quilters. Fusible applique with a machine blanket stitch goes quickly, as do the handmade yo-yos. Or substitute appliqued circles if you’d prefer not to make yo-yos.
You’ll find the runner and hot pad patterns in Birds, Butterflies & Blooms by Chris Malone.
The “Branching Out Table Runner” is 40″ x 15″, while the “Branching Out Hot Pads” are 9″ square.
