September
12th Program
Quick
and Easy Table Runners
This program will be taught using the width of
fabric. I understand that not everyone
has a table that requires a 40” long table runner. Once the presentation is complete you may cut
your fabric according to the size needed for your table. The program is intended to be done at the
meeting and not ahead of time. Therefore NO written direction will be provided
on the blog. You will simply need to
bring the following to the meeting next month and have the fun of learning
together.
Supply List:
1) Sewing machine if you desire to actually sew your
table runner that evening. You may want
to team together with other ladies so that only one lady bring her machine and
either allows you to sew on her machine or will sew the seams for you. If you are a hand sewer, bring needle and
thread, you can quickly sew this together.
A pressing station will be available.
2) Measurement of the
width and length of your table.
3) 1/2 yard of 45” (18”x
WOF) material for the outer and back of your table runner.
4) 1/3 yard of 45” (12”x
WOF) material for the center of your table runner.
NOTE:
You can purchase holiday fabric, or use any fabric that you might have
on hand. Some of you may want to piece
together left over blocks to create your (12”x WOF) piece. The sky is the limit in using your
creative. Just show up with the 2
required pieces of fabric and learn how to put this quick and easy table runner
together.
Community Service
Members please bring 4 1/2" squares of Christmas/Holiday fabric for community service to make lap quilts for VNA for the holidays
Bring to September Guild meeting please
