Merry Christmas - I hope everyone had a great day and you are now enjoying your Boxing Day traditions.
First up on my Christmas reveal list is my Feeling Festive table runner, which I gave to my grandmother. I finally made a decision about the binding and got it stitched on this week.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions about which fabric to use for the binding. I really like the idea of a frosty binding, but in the end I went for a darker fabric to frame the runner and pick up the darker teal colour in the backing fabric.
I am very pleased with how this little project turned out, and I think I will try and start my Christmas sewing a little earlier next year so that I can get more done.
Finally, I wanted to show one of the techniques taught in Angela Walters' Free Motion Quilting class on Craftsy - combining FMQ designs. I just combined the swirls and pebbles at each end of the quilt, where I needed to transition from the "sky" to the "ground".
Have you tried any new quilting designs lately?

that looks fabulous! :D
Yeah... That was my favourite color :) it looks fantastic. And the quilting... Wow... You know how much in awe I hold your quilting!
What a fun runner - great job, and I love your quilting! I just got Angela's new book for Christmas and sure do enjoy her techniques.
Your free motion quilting is awesome!
This is great, I'm new to your blog and am following via Bloglovin'. I made my first quilt recently - a doll's cot quilt for my daughter. It's certainly not awe-inspiring but you've got to start somewhere! I hated sewing the binding.
