I have been focused and have been working on my alternative for the Modern Christmas tablerunner. I have sewn the trees together, put the borders on and even started quilting.
It now looks like this....
I have just machine stitched around the trees and inner border so far...still lots to do before I can relax and wait by my postbox....!
What arrived in my postbox today? A package I was quite excited about! But it was neither a Brit Quilt Pillow Fight Cushion nor a Tablerunner.
I have been buying this magazine when I see it in the shops....
It is quite fun and I have quite enjoyed looking at it! In this issue I noticed a subscription offer that tempted me just a bit more than usual and so I succumbed and became a subscriber and today I received this...
Fabric from The Makery in Bath! Quite an assortment of colour, pattern and weight. Just the sort of temptation I couldn't resist!

Table runner is looking goooooood! Great post too! Jxo
ReplyDeleteyour table runner looks wonderful.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely surprise package. I like that bundle with the sewing notions. Very different.
Very fun postal day! Your table runner looks great! And the fabric bundle is awesome, I really like that top fabric and the dots!
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is fab, as is the fabric bundle but I am trying to avoid temptation. Trying really hard!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so behind on my blog reading! I need to go back to see why you're doing an alternative. I do love it, but I also loved the first one! and that fabric offer has got me tempted :) x
ReplyDeleteI love this table runner, too-- but what was wrong with your first one (did you decide you wanted to keep it? Maybe I missed a post?) I'm not familiar with that magazine (being American and all-- perhaps I can look it up online and check it out)-- but scrumptious fabrics you received!
ReplyDeleteeverybody is raving about that magazine but I've never seen it available here. I bet it would cost an arm and a leg for me to subscribe to!
ReplyDeleteAs a reader, would it be worth it for me?
PS table runner is looking fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteTable runner is coming up a treat. Has your partner indicated a preference? The fabric seems more than enough justification to sign up, and the mag as well is a bit like icing!!!!
ReplyDeleteGet quilting Mrs before you start on that lovely bundle!
ReplyDeleteThe runner is looking fabulous and your parcel contained lots of loveliness!
ReplyDeleteThe tablerunner looks brilliant! I love how you've done the trees. The fabric stash is yummy too :)
