This was in my "get 'er done" pile. I took a hand applique class (twice!) at Road to CA and this was the table runner kit for the class. I never mastered hand applique (my stitches are more "Franken-stitches" then invisible!) and this beautiful kit was still in its bag knowing it probably wasn't going to get done by hand, so I made an executive decision to finish this with fusible and machine applique. I pieced the background, layered batting & backing and the "appli-quilted" appliqueing and quilting at the same time. My teacher probably would have fallen out of her chair! I used all the threads in the kit for buttonhole, and just added some freemotion around to finish the quilting.

Quilt soup really has some beautiful fabrics and patterns. I'm just a little hopeless at the hand applique!
