Freeform Table Runner, Finished
My customer's Freeform table runner is all done. It measures 14" x 53". I did it similar to Sweet Pea's version, but rather than doing it all in the hoop on a fancy embroidery machine, I drew a pattern, cut, sewed it together, and quilted it free-motion on the HQ Avanté longarm.
I reset the tension on my sewing machine (a Bernina Artista 180E), and once again it's stitching like a champ. I sew bindings on entirely by machine, stitching in the ditch for that last step, rather than doing it by hand. The edge caught by that stitching is 1/16" wide. (See last two pictures.)
Addendum:
After getting this table runner back, I ordered these vases to go with it, and will give runner and vases as a gift to our daughter-in-law. They are large -- about a foot tall, ten inches or so wide, and narrow from front to back.

Freeform Table Runner
The top of my customer's Freeform table runner is done, and I'm ready to load it on my quilting frame. Also, here are pictures of Larry working on the fifth-wheel camper, a newly-bloomed clematis, and petunias. He wants me to make a quilt for that camper. 😊

Farmers' Market Potholders
Tonight I finished the set of eight Farmer's Market potholders for my great-niece Danica's wedding gift. Her wedding is next Sunday. I will also give her a Southern Living cookbook, and a keepsake: an old cookbook that used to be my mother's, her great-grandmother's, Biblical Garden Cookery.
These are the backs.

Fabric for Table Runner
The potholders are all sandwiched and quilted (with two layers of cotton batting), and binding cut and sewn to three of them. Quitting for the day.
Earlier, I went to Hobby Lobby and got the fabric for my customer's table runner.
