Gnome Table Runner Finish

October 30, 2020

I’m delighted to share my Gnome Table Runner finish with you today. When my good friend, Vicki of Vicki’s Crafts & Quilting sent me an email asking if I’d want to test her Here’s A Gnome, There’s A Gnome table runner pattern, I said – umm, yes! 

While Vicki was developing this pattern, she and I had noodled some ideas, so it was very fun to be able to make this pattern. Here’s my finished runner, along with my able assistant doing a quality control check.

Oops – I guess that particular gnome needed a little closer inspection. Let’s try that again . . .

If you’ve made any of Vicki’s patterns, you know they are done well. This runner is such an easy, fun quilt. I chose to do wool applique for my gnomes. Vicki used quilting fabric for hers, except for the beard.

Once I put the runner background together, I did some quick straight-line quilting. When that was done, I added the wool applique. It was a little tricky fusing the wool to the quilt through the quilt sandwich, but a little patience, a hot iron, and a pressing cloth got it done. Once fused, I hand sewed a blanket stitch around each applique piece.  I added binding to match the inner border, and done! 

This little runner would make a great holiday gift, and it take so little time to make. Plus, you can mix up the colors and fabrics. I think it would be very cute in the popular turquoise and red holiday colors. Using a darker background fabric might be fun. Gray and white with a pop of color too. 

Vicki just released Here’s A Gnome, There’s A Gnome this week. If you are interested in this pattern, you’ll want to go grab it right now. She’s offering it for $5 until 9 pm tonight. 

For more information, go to Vicki’s blog right here. 

Then skidaddle over to her Etsy shop right here and snag that pattern. Do it now, before you forget! 

The Gnome Table Runner Finish was a favorite project for me this week. I hope you give it a try!
