Pumpkins anyone?

This will actually be the first Halloween table runner that I've ever had!  I don't know why.  I decorate for Christmas, but none of the other seasons or occasions.  Well, I do a bit of Halloween decor outside.  Now I have this table runner for my table.  

This was a panel that was in a drawer for a long time and got pulled out recently and added to my list.  I can now cross something else off the list.  It was made and quilted over a week ago, however I didn't have any black around here to bind it.  So, after work today, my mom and I headed to Len's Mills to get some solid black Kona fabric and I picked up some special batting that has the tinfoil in it for hot pots and heat resistant stuff.  Now I can also work on that project too.


I have to smile when I look at these pumpkins.  Their cheerful.  Below I took a close up of the quilting.  I used the Along Came a Spider pantograph for this one.  I like how spider stands out in some spots and the webs stand out in other spots.  In this picture you can also see the backing fabric, which is a print of spiders and webs....lol...not a coincident that I quilted this pattern on it.


Here is a picture of the whole runner.  Came out much larger then I thought it would be.  It just fits my table!  I placed this runner on the counter for the light background instead of the black carpet....lol....but you should have seen me....lol.... standing on a stool balancing myself, while trying to stay out of the light casting shadows with my phone practically up at the ceiling height, just to get the whole thing in the shot....lol.  Thinking about it now, after the fact, makes me laugh.  How silly I must have looked!


I'm glad I got to this.  It's just in time for Halloween. It's already on the table.  Slightly early, but oh well.

Take care everyone.
