A ‘PERKY’ TABLE RUNNER

Sometimes being a pattern tester has ‘perks’ 
besides getting great patterns. 
For instance, fabric!
Corinne Wells of Frannie B Quilt Company
Designed a new line called ‘Elegance’. 

She reached out to her testers and asked if we could turn around 
a quick project using her new fabric line. 

I committed  to make a table runner and really 
loved the mustard colors in this line. 
Corrine sent me these fat quarters. 


I looked thru my patterns, quilt books, Pinterest for inspiration.
Found this pattern by Nancy Zieman.
The heartbeat idea didn’t do anything for me..
but I could figure a design that would be my style. 


We could only use solids or blenders to keep
her fabric line the star.   
I pulled these together.


A GRUNGE became my blender
And the cutting began 


I changed the pattern design to my liking. 
Making one continuous strip across vs the heart beat chart look!


A Denyse Schmidt stash fabric became the backing.  


I liked the was it was coming together. 
QUICKLY!
QAYG (quilt as you go) never disappoints me.


It’s just lovely!
The gold/mustard GRUNGE was perfect 
for the binding. 








This will look great this fall on my dining room table.
Now the hunt is on for the green and mustard pumpkins.

ELEGANCE FABRIC

As a pattern tester we sometime get nice little perks.
This is the newest fabric line, ELEGANCE,  designed by Corrine Wells of
Frannie B Quilt Company. 

She reached out to her pattern testers to ask if we could make a project.
Turnaround time was to be quick, what would we make and
she would send us the fabric to us. 


I said sure…how about a table runner and I love those mustard colors! 
These are the FQs  she sent me. 


We could add from our stash but she preferred solids
And try to keep her fabric the star.
I pulled these and she approved. 
Now to figure out a pattern. 


While I work on my project…here are some patterns 
Her testing team have tested over the last few months. 
Your can find them here
The Elegance line of fabric will be shipping
soon to quilt shops.   




Stay tuned…my project will be finished soon!
