Plum Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I finally finished my son's table runner and gave him it at Christmas You may remember he rejected my beautiful batik offering in favour of boring brown and cream but I am pleased with the result. Then my machine lost it's tension again but that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Oh wow, I love it! At first glance it looks dead complicated with all those curves, but it's an optical illusion - very clever! I know what you mean about browns, but that is stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did one in Christmas fabrics for myself last year and now this one so I am glad to see the back of the pattern Do you want me to send you it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried googling ocean waves but it comes up with a different design! I have a few table runner projects to do this year - I'm going to be totally indulgent with my sewing and do them for me this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's not too hard if you start with squares and other straight sided shapes like rectangles (I'm a simple girl me ).........a mixture of the two means you don't have to worry about matching up corners for the first attempt, then use just squares....not so easy, but a scattering of buttons hides small errors ....and it's supposed to be fun and homemade with love, so any complaints/comments are not necessary I need to upload the pictures of my latest piece of patchwork.................so simple it's almost embarrassing, but very well received by the little girl it was made for.
