Trolling the web one day in early November, I found
this tutorial for a table runner using a charm pack - zig zag charm pack. Looked interesting and something quick to make up. I've had this one winter/Christmas charm pack with some yardage forever. Like 5+ years. I still have a jelly roll to use. I may make a jelly roll race quilt with it.
Anyway, I've had this charm pack and thought it was about time I put it to good use.

ignore the wrinkles. I had it rolled up and stashed in my sewing room. |
Cute, huh? I liked that I had to cut nothing. Just lay out the charms as stated in the tutorial and sew rows. It's even a layer and turn inside out kind of runner. The tutorial says to top-stitch and then do a little quilting. I've done the top-stitching. Haven't gotten to the quilting yet. I probably won't until after the holidays. I do plan on making another one. I have several charm packs that I really don't have any use for but a zig zag runner? I can dig it.
Here's a couple more shots

My Longaberger snowman looks at home on it. |
Enjoy your day!
