I decided to make a table runner with Evergreen trees on it because…..I found the border fabric in my Christmas fabric stash and figured it was time to use it up!
I wanted a fast and easy project so I cut out a few trees with my Sizzix Big Shot. Don’t worry I have a tree I drew that you can use it. I should have the tutorial up tomorrow so stop back.
I just did some stipple quilting around the trees and a much bigger stippling on the border.
Here is a closeup of one of the trees. If you notice a line in the background fabric that is because I had some strips of this cute ivory fabric that I really wanted to use so I just sewed them together. It is barely noticeable.
The size is 22 by 31.
I will also be giving away 6 precut Evergreen trees that you can use to make your own table runner or some other holiday gift. They already have heat n bond lite adhered to them and they are ready to use!
Receive a newsletter with notification of new posts. You'll also get access to a private area with free printables and other goodies.
Thanks, Connie

Very cute, Connie! You are always so creative.
Love your blog tuning in every day

Very nice and I love the way the tree's pop out of the fabric! I love Evergreen's however beautiful they are we cannot have a tree inside for longer than a week because I am highly allergic to them when they begin to fade. These would be amazing to have this time of the year!
This runner is fabulous- for some reason it reminds me of my Dad who loved evergreen trees. He would have loved to have this on his table
You always make the cutest projects and this is no exception. Love how you pulled from your stash to make it and are going to use the negatives in another project. Create something pretty, use up fabric and have very little waste. That's quilting perfection and you nailed it.
Loving your runner, but I'm not surprised, you always have such cute projects and wonderful quilts.
Lovely Table Runner. Thank You For A Chance To Win Your Trees.
The trees are very nice. I love how they look on the white background and your quilting is fabulous. Now I must blog hop…..have a wonderful day.

I I agree with QuiltingGrammy. If I read less, I'm sure my products would increase. However, right now, arthritis seems to be saying the opposite. I follow you too. I really love the border print for your runner. It turned out so beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful runner! Love it. Thanks for the chance to win your precut trees. Great idea to use up the leftover negatives. I must keep that in mind.
I like the fabric you used for your trees. The print enhances the trees quite nicely. — soparkaveataoldotcom
I love the idea of using the negative images for a project. I must remember to keep the negative parts more.
What a great runner, thanks so much for sharing it.
