I am not late.., just early for next year.

So here is the next project in a series selected to improve my applique and machine quilting skills. I was lucky enough to make two of these. My sister's runner was finished during her visit here last month. The kit available from Connecting Threads was generous enough to make a pair of runners. (With careful cutting and a little modification). I used left over fabric to piece the backings. No waste here!

Still looking for more applique projects to improve my skills (or lack there of).
