For the quilting, I kept it simple. There’s basically an echoing, soft, rosey-type pattern, as it circles around the center of the rose-log cabin center.
And of course, you’re probably tired of hearing me say it, but I use King Tut 40 wt cotton in white for the top thread, and matching white in the bobbin, using Masterpiece 50 wt cotton from Superior Threads.
And I stayed with the swirls for quilting the outside border fabric, as any detailed quilting wouldn’t show much on this light fabric, unless I had chosen a bright red quilting thread, and in my mind, that would have served to distract from the cabin rose pattern.
And… {no surprise here!} I finished it with Razzle Dazzle Thread in the outside edge in the binding ‘stitch-in-the-ditch’ style. {You KNOW how much I love my #39 clear embroidery-couching foot} Well, I love couching of any kind. Except, well, I’m not much of a couch potato!!
Have a great Wednesday! And I {still} have some items to give away… just haven’t had time to use them and prepare reviews. Soon! {I hope!}
Best to y’all!

It is beautiful and I love how you quilted it 🙂
It's beautiful, Leslie. Love, love, love seeing your creations!!
Leslie, this is beautiful! One of a kind!
Beautiful runner, and the title immediately brought to mind the old carol that starts "Lo how a rose" and there my memory fails me … The melody will be in my head the rest of the day, maybe the words will return later 🙂
It's lovely, Leslie! I know you've shown the Razzle Dazxle done in the ditch like that before. I tried out a stitch in the ditch foot and keep meaning to order one. Do you do a completely machine stitched binding or do you hand stitch it down in the back?
I love this table runner!!!
Brilliant! These are sew cool! I want some roses for Christmas! lol
