Stars of the Forest Finish
My Stars of the Forest table runner is finished. I snuck it in for a finish right before the end of November. You can read more about it on my earlier post here.
I love the colors in this bundle and how well they play together.
The table runner measures 10″ x 32″ and it fits just right on my kitchen counter.
Using my walking foot, I quilted it with a wavy line on the diagonal. I had planned to do a wavy crosshatch, but decided I liked the single wavy line. Nice and simple.
I used Aurifil thread in light beige (#2310) for the quilting. I like the way it looks on the back. For batting, I used a scrap piece of Quilter’s Dream.
For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving, I wish you a wonderful weekend filled with love and laughter and family. Actually I wish those things for all of you, whether you are celebrating a holiday or not!
Linking up today with Susan at Quilt Fabrication, Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilt, and Jennifer at Inquiring Quilter.

I’m wishing you a wonderful weekend with love and laughter and family, and although it isn’t Thanksgiving for me I will be spending the weekend with my sister and our daughters. I like the wavy line on the diagonal.

Love the finish Wendy. You used every bit of the bundle to its best – fussy cutting the deer is so perfect for the centers of the stars. Looks wonderful.
Have a lovely Thanksgiving. Are you the turkey maker this year??

Thanks, Bernie! No to the turkey, I’m on salad duty. 😉

Oh my! You are busy, but I’m sure the meal will be delicious and enjoyed by all!

I think it will be – but one day I think I want someone to suggest someone else cook it or take me out!
