I shared these in my year end review but I thought I'd do a separate post for
Sew and Tell and
Fabric Friday. I made the rectangular runner for my brother and sister-in-law as a very late wedding gift. I quilted it diagonally, two lines one way and one the other - inspired by
Film in the Fridge. I pieced the back so that it's double-sided and I think I like the back better!
I made this one as I was teaching a little quilt class and gave it to my Mom (and Dad too).
With both I gave a set of 6 coasters. Thanks Linnet for sending a picture!
I also made a runner for us the same as the top one that I meander quilted. I think that was the extent of any gift sewing this year.
Head on over to

Rosebud Quilting to check out the other sew and tells!
