Activities

In June, 2024, I submitted a pattern for a table runner to the magazine Quick and Easy Quilts for the Winter 2025 edition and to my delight, it was accepted! It was followed by submissions to other quilting and sewing magazines, with a variety of projects being selected and featured. Please view the projects and link information for ordering the patterns by visiting my Gallery page.

Two free patterns for table accessories are featured below, with links for printing the patterns and directions. More patterns will be added periodically so please check back often for updates!

Free Pattern: Table Runner and Placemats

Create placemats and a matching table runner with a main fabric theme of your choice, with three accent colors on each side (shown here: Southwest colors theme).

These easy decor items are not quilted and are finished by stitching the tops to the linings and turning them inside out. This saves time instead of applying binding.

They can be made in a wide variety of fabrics, from whimsical to formal, licensed characters to favorite color schemes!

Free Pattern: Autumn Table Runner

Create a festive table runner for autumn celebrations, dancing with machine appliqued leaves and filled with quilting motifs of your choice!

This is a great way to use autumn color scraps of fabrics in the leaves. You can experiment with a machine buttonhole and other stitches to applique the leaves in place.
