I’ve made a little bit of progress on my Christmas runner, not a lot though as I’ve been concentrating on other things. This is a project I actually started back in 2020 but it got put on a back burner for various reasons and then to be honest I forgot about it until I was having a tidy! Last time I posted about it I was half way along doing lines across…

To give you an idea of scale, the embroidered squares are 2 1/4″ square, the runner is around 48* long. I’ve now finished quilting across the runner, next I’m going to quilt down the length of the runner.

I’d used a polyester batting and I’m not enjoying quilting it, it feels really thick and bulky, even though it doesn’t look like a high loft one, maybe I’ve just got used to the feel of the 80/20 cotton ones.

Hopefully next time I share this I’ll have made a bit more progress!
