Valentine Table Runners

Across the Pond Sew Along
Are you all ready for the Across the Pond Sew Along this month? For all you new members, welcome.  This is a very relaxed sew-along where Susie, Amy and I share free patterns and cool ideas from around the globe.  We try to make one or two of the free patterns each month and hope you will find time to join us. 

The theme for February 2014 is table runners – old and new.  But we are not just talking table runners – we are including  table toppers and placemats as well.    Susie has created a very versatile Fussy Cut table runner tutorial over at Susie’s Sunroom.

I on the other hand, have chosen a Valentine selection of my favourite HEART table runner and topper patterns (just click on the pattern title and it will open a new page to the free pattern or tutorial).

And here is one I made earlier – a long time earlier.  It is my Country Stars (and Hearts) table runner.  I thought you might like the pattern!

  1. Neat. I was just thinking about some Valentine's thing since all those hearts poping out everywhere make me want one too :-)
