Over The Rainbow Batiks Project and Giveaway!

I have been playing with Over The Rainbow Batiks again.  The pattern "Garden Trio" has directions for three different table runners.



This is the first table runner and a close up of the quilting.  I decided to do a little echo quilting around the flowers and then some straight lines as planks on the house.



The second table runner has these five fun flowers.  I quilted with the curvy pattern from Angela Walters' book "Free-Motion Quilting."


This is number three which is a fun colour play project.  I quilted with a simple loopy meander so that the fabrics would be the main focus on this one.

Now I'm sure you are all anxious to see what I'm giving away this Friday.



I had a couple of charm packs left over so I decided I would give away a light and a dark set of Over The Rainbow Batiks to one lucky winner!  To enter leave me a comment letting me know which of the three table runners is your favourite.  I will draw one name next Friday and post the winner at the bottom of next Friday's giveaway.

Have a great weekend everyone!

    I like all 3 table runners, but, I think the middle one is my favorite. It would look really nice as a wall hanging, too. Cute! Wish I could FM. I've tried, and taken classes, but, it just doesn't work for me. Oh well.

    My favorite is the first tablerunner, with the house and flowers. The quilting you did is fantastic, and adds a great dimension to the tablerunner. Thanks for a chance.
