So, the SewHappyGeek Table Runner/Wall Hanging Swap. It’s almost *sniff, sniff* over now!
And I sent out my table runner today! Here she is:
My partner likes red and HSTs. I was REALLY afraid this was the wrong red after I’d pieced the top together. I was really worried, but she left a comment saying she liked it! Yay!
I did a simple diagonal quilting pattern all over it, 1/4″ away from the lines on either side. I was scrupulous about trimming, so all my points matched up! So gratifying!
This was the first time I attached the binding on to the back and machined it on to the front, too. I think I did ok.
This is the back, using matching yardage to the charm pack used for the front’s HSTs and border.
I do love my labels. If you are curious about them, here’s a post about how I designed them and had Spoonflower make them.
I sent her a mug rug too. I hope she likes it!
You guys know I’m obsessed with birds, right?
So anyway, I sent some chocolate too, just because I can. I forgot to wrap it though. Hopefully she won’t be too disappointed!

I am sure she will NOT be disappointed! The table runner is scrumptious and I love the mug rug 🙂 Lucky partner!
I’m obsessed with birds, too! I love LOVE your label. Must think about that with Spoonflower free shipping day coming up.
beautiful!
They both look fab, glad she liked it, it’s nerve-racking waiting for that approval!
Cute stuff as always Jenna!
OMG THAT MUG RUG!! AAAAAAAHHH!
love your table runner and cute mug rug too – I have just checked out your link on how to organise labels via Spoonflower – thanks for the tip – I will be getting onto it soon.
You just reminded me to add that pesky label sometime before next Monday. lol
I am so glad you showed us your label! I clicked back to your July link and read through your post and will be checking out Julie Herman’s posts about how to design a Spoonflower label. Lovely table runner – a very lucky recipient will undoubtedly be very happy. Just for curiosity – what kind of chocolate do you send?
Wow both table runner and mug rug are pretty but I Love Love Love the colors of the mug rug!
Swoon! I will be over the moon if that shows up in my letterbox. Love the mug rug, got to love birdy fabric. Tarcee xx
