I am starting another Reversible Table Runner with the lovely fabrics from Amy Butler’s Lark collection. The prints are so exotic and beautiful and they have been sitting on my shelf for a couple of months calling my name. The first one I made was and still is a big hit with many readers.
This is the first Reversible Table Runner I made. One side is the Guising fabric collection by Lizzy House (with a few others thrown in) and the other side is Denyse Schmidt’s Flea Market Fancy collection. The solid is Kona cotton Snow.
The Guising collection is so fun that I wanted to make a festive table runner out of it. However, it just didn’t seem practical to me to spend a lot of time and effort into making a table runner and only use it for one month out of a year. I decided to make it reversible so that it wouldn’t spend so much time in the closet. The other side is Flea Market Fancy, which could be used any time of the year.
For the new table runner, I am going to use the Lark collection for the half square triangle/chevron pattern side. Eeeek! I can’t wait!
The squares are so pretty when they are all neat and trimmed and ready to go. I particularly like the fabric on top… Chinese Lanterns in Grass. Amy Butler is crazy talented. Her fabrics are amazing.
For the striped side, I have decided to make it with a Christmas theme and these adorable little scottie dogs.
That way one side is a festive Christmas decoration and the other can be used any other time of the year.
Here is the post with this finished Reversible Table Runner:
You can find a pattern for this Reversible Table Runner in my Etsy shop if you would like to make one for your home or as a gift.
What a great idea! I never really make holiday decorations because it is so very much effort for just a short time of use, but this is such a great solution to that!
I loved your first table runner and have had your blog bookmarked ever since! This is a must make for fall! thanks for the reminder! Can't wait to see the newer version!
