Love on the Run-ner

I love this table runner that is simple enough it could be made in an afternoon. Measuring 18” x 74” (without tassels), grab your 2 1/2” strips and follow the enclosed road map to create a quick and easy runner for your Valentine’s Day or wedding. Add self made tassels just for the fun of it! This is a perfect beginner project!

New from Nancy Halvorsen

Nancy’s projects always make me smile. She is so creative when it comes to creating programs for shops and quilters as well. I love this latest idea. She will be releasing 6 new booklets next month and six more in the Fall. Each booklet includes a portion of a quilt that can be combined into a completed block of the month quilt. But this is the genius of Nancy! Each booklet includes smaller projects that can be companions to the finished quilt. Or, quilters can choose to make the smaller projects instead! Talk about getting the most bang for your buck!
