Happy 4th of July!

Here in the USA, we're having a celebration...
happy 4th of July!


I made a sweet new Stars and Stripes table runnner.
at A Bright Corner.

Here's how mine turned out.


I used a couple of different fabric collections
from my stash...the stars and the stripes came
from a fabric line called Simply Sweet from Henry Glass.
For the star background, the border and binding,
I used Smooth Sailing from Connecting Threads.
They gave my runner a nautical flair.


The border wasn't included in the tutorial,
but I liked the way it added a few more inches
of width and length to the runner.


I used wavy quilting lines, randomly spaced.
Don't you think wavy lines are perfect for flag designs?


I think the striped binding is my favorite detail.


This runner is even reversible!


The beachy print is fun for the back deck at our house,
near the swimming pool.


If you're looking for a fun and easy project,
with just the right mix of applique and patchwork,


Enjoy your summer, friends!
