I finally got around to finishing off my snowmen runner this week! We had some company all weekend so there was no sewing happening around here until everyone went home. I finished the big stitch quilting using pearl cotton threads and added 6 different snowflake buttons--I had those in my stash...
I then added a stripey homespun binding and hand stitched it down.
I shared my runner at show and tell at our guild meeting tonight. Many of the guild members read my blog and several came up to me at the end of the meeting to say that they did not realize this runner was so small. It measures 9" by 27". The original pattern/kit did not include a border but I thought it needed a border and I just happened to have some appropriate homespun border fabric in my stash... ;-)
I have the perfect spot to put this runner. I just have to do some cleaning up first...
It turned out really cute!
