I finished my Christmas Runners and mailed out the swap packages yesterday. These were my last swaps of 2015 and I only have one lined up for next year. It was fun to swap but I think I'm going to enjoy selfish/family sewing for a while. This marks off #14 on my
Q4 FAL list. Without further ado, the runners...

| It was pretty awesome that both of my swap partners had the same tastes and liked Holly's Tree Farm by Sweetwater for Moda. I'm a big fan too! I got a Honeybun and sewed it into strips. |
 |
| Then I cut little trees out based on the pattern found in the kit Sweetwater put together. |
 |
| I added some white background and did some pebble quilting so it looked like snowballs. I didn't quilt the trees so they'd pop more. |
 |
| Here they are finished! I was a little worried about binding those points but it worked out to be quite simple. I can't wait to make the quilt for me like this! It was hard to ship these out! |
That's it for the week! Thanks for stopping by! I hope to finish up the Amelia quilt to show by next Friday but I have three people with Strep in the house so far, we'll see how it goes. Until then I'm linking up with
Finish It Up Friday.
These runners are beautiful Julie! I can definitely see how you would find it difficult to send them away. Great finishes!
