Pleasant Summer House Table Topper and Table Runner

I really had fun working with this beautiful bundle of Pleasant Summer House from Fat Quarter Shop. I received a fat quarter bundle and one additional yard that I used for the binding. I actually have enough fabric left to make another table topper which isn’t done yet.

We had some snow yesterday and I thought it would be fun to take the runner and table topper outside.

Pleasant Summer House Table Topper

This first thing I made was this table topper. I have always loved all the fabrics that Heather Mulder Peterson designs and Fat Quarter Shop did a wonderful Designer Tidbits all about her that you should check out if you missed it.

Since I had quite a bit of fabric left over I decided to make a table runner.

I had it all finished and then thought it needed a little something extra added to it…..so I free motion appliqued some pretty flowers on it. I think it added just the right touch!

I hope to write a tutorial for the table runner soon!

    I love Heather's fabrics and designs as well. Your octagonal table topper is so pretty. Did you make it using the same method as your Easter rainbow tutorial? It looks a little different with the thin stripes and the same fabric all around. I really like it and am dying to find out how to make one like yours.

  215. Your toppers look fabulous made with Heather's fabrics.

  216. I love how you freemotion quilt around applique…I am going to have to give it a go! Linda

  217. Love your table topper and runner. Your added appliques are just perfect to set if off. Do a tutorial on your free motion applique technique….maybe?

  218. I love the Seaside fabric as well as Fishy … make a choice? If I could do that I would probably not have 1/2 the fabric I have… I love it all!!

  219. I really like these hexagonal table toppers you've been making! And the table runner with the special touch of flowers is the cutest idea! Also, I bet that last picture isn't really a black and white photo, right? Almost all our snow here in my western New York neighborhood is gone, as of today at least….

  220. Love the table toppers and the fabric. So cheery.

  221. Very pretty table topper and table runner. You've been sewing up a storm lately.
