Well, I've finally finished all 8 of the Table runners for my Christmas ladies lunch this year.

I don't know how I missed these but they are all so pretty. I love this runner design and see it in her newsletter sometimes.

Thanks Toogie, they are so easy to do. You could do them in your spare time he he he!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Chris

Beautiful! I don't buy very many designs anymore--I am a troll seeing what is free--someone wrote about trolls--I am more the collector these days and don't get a whole lot accomplished. Of course there are a bit of troll in all of us, otherwise none of us would go after the freebies. Sweetpea has gorgeous projects and designs. I drool when I look at them, just as I am doing over these. I am all electric here in the states where I live and icy outside. My first floor heater went out and I think we are holding at 59 degrees here in the house--I am dressed with thick layers of everything and don't feel like moving. Hopefully the part under the house unit is what my husband thinks it is and has ordered and will be here by Friday. Love your projects.

Thankyou so much for commenting Patty, and I hope you get your heating fixed. Love Chris

Hi Chris, very nice! I also have this pattern, and was going to make for Christmas gifts, but I ran out of time because we were away for a month, and didn't get back home till Christmas week, so before we left home, I made 5 twisted pole runners. I hope to post the photos soon, not feeling 100% today.

They have already been very much appreciated...these are the table runners that Chris made for her luncheon last year!

by pennifold 12 Feb 2018

Hi Michelle, you must have missed these last year. I rang all the ladies and asked what colours they would like and so each one is different. You can make them as long as you like really. Love Chris

I have to add here that the photographs do not do these justice, they were all stunning!!!

You're too kind! Love Chris

They are outstanding Chris, every single one.
It is cold in Melbourne too, but we use a wood burning stove to keep us warm day and night! - Hugs

Thanks so much for commenting ❤️ Chris

These look great. If anyone in the group has a party or wedding, you could call them all back to decorate the tables! We all want to move to Australia and join your Christmas friends group!

Thanks, it is very clever. Just lay down your wadding, then placement stitch sews and then you put down fabric and do the stitches. They are all very easy, love Chris

Beautiful!!!!Lucky Ladies???Job well done!!Gorgeous

Thanks so much Sandra, they all look forward each year to see what I'll come up with. Still got 2 gifts times 8 to make yet. I want an FSL article for their Christmas tree and I always make a tea towel with a design that matches my theme. ❤️ Chris

How about I give you my crocheted snowflake pattern?

They look lovely - the navy one really shows the design beautifully.

Thanks so much Deb, I hope so too. Love Chris

Very nice table runners, the ladies will be delighted with them. My BIL is recuperating in Newcastle after a triple by-pass heart operation. He is staying with his son. He was enjoying the warmer weather to what we have been and still having down here in Tassie. He will think he is back home. Hugs

Hi Shirley, sorry to read your brother has been in hospital, but if he is in the John hunter hospital, it's the best outside of Sydney. I hope he is doing o.k. now.
You are right though about the weather being nearly as cold as Hobart, we certainly haven't been this cold in a very long time. Thank you for commenting. Love Chris

by shirley124 23 Jul 2017

He 9 (Hubby's brother) had his operation in the Royal Melbourne Private Hospital. He lives over here in Launceston but his son lives in Newcastle. Sorry to hear you are having some cold weather also. Hugs

Great job on all of these, Chris...been hot here...100 degrees Fahrenheit as I write...

Thanks Kim, wow, that's what it used to get to in Adelaide during the summer when I was a wee lass. I don't mind hot, but when it's humid that's it for me, I'm outa there! He he he, love Chris

Very nice amazing how the same thing can look so different just by changing the colours used.
We are even cold here in Brisbane the last few days. Not as bad as out West though but enough to make you put on a track suit. Last weekend I was in shorts and T shirt.

Thanks Barbara, yes, I agree. I was so pleased when I saw each one finished and how different they all looked to the previous one.
Can't believe you were in shorts and a T shirt in the middle of winter, that's amazing. Love Chris

These are nice Chris. It's been cold here in Warren as well, -3 or more the last week (in the mornings )
