turkey table unner finished (pics)

18 years ago

When I saw the Quiltmaker Magazine Sept./Oct. 2007 issue I fell in love with the turkey table runner pattern. This was definitely a stretch for me because the pattern was rated "Challenging." I had never chosen a "challenging" pattern to do so part of me wanted to know if I could make it. It did come out a little wavy, but overall I am happy with it- or maybe just happy it is done!

I decided I needed to make twoof these turkeys! One is for my mom's birthday, which is tomorrow (phew done just in time!). I also made one for my house.

This is all done in needle turn applique. I machine quilted it using monofilament thread. The first one is all done, and I am hand stitching the binding of the second one.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jen, You did a great job! Nice colors, and quilting. Did you like the needle turn? I love doing needle turn applique. I find it relaxing, and someting I can do while watching TV with DH. I also take it with me on car or airplane trips, and have been know to sit in Dr. offices or hospitals stitching away!

Happy Thanksgiving!

They are too cute! You did a great job. I have yet to attempt needle turn. You deserve a pat on the back. You went for "challenging" and got wonderful results. Happy Thanksgiving.
