My Fabulous Finish

I am so SUPER EXCITED to share my latest finish with you - my holiday table runner. This is my first big fusible applique project and I am so very proud of it! It might have taken me a few weeks to get it completed, but it turned out just as I imagined. I am so glad I used the black fabric in place of the light blue...it is much more my style and matches my home decor much better. I spent a lot of time practicing the applique snowflakes before working on the actual runner and they were a wonderful challenge with all the curves and turns. I used a new to me paperbacked fusible web by Shades Textiles called Soft Fuse and I must say, it is the best fusible web product I have ever worked with - it is very thin, flexible, and soft - so soft, you can't even tell I used a fusible product - this will be my fusible web of choice for all my applique projects (no affiliation - just a happy customer)! If you missed some of my earlier posts, this Holidays to GO! table runner is a free project from AccuQuilt - and used the Holiday Medley die for the GO! fabric cutter...it has a finished size of 12" x 46", so it is quite large. I was pretty happy with my 96 pieced half square triangles and my "getting better every time" binding skills. All in all, this is one of my finer finishes (I'm glad I took my time) and I can't wait to do another applique project!...maybe a fall project with leaves, acorns, and pumpkins...
