How to make  a small Autumn Quilted Appliqué Table Runner

How to make  a small Autumn Quilted Appliqué Table Runner.

For this cute little Autumn appliqué' table runner you will need: green plaid homespun fabric, orange fabric, a scrap piece of brown fabric, quilt batting, and basic sewing supplies.

 

 
First, let's make your table runner pattern.  Take an 8 1/2" X 11 1/2" piece of computer paper and fold the top corners to meet in the center just like the photo shows.

Write on your paper in the center "Cut 2 on FOLD". Make the bottom "place on fold" as shown in the photo.

Pin and cut 2 of the table runner on the fold line as shown in the photo.

Pin and cut 1 of the table runner pattern out of quilt batting.

Make yourself a pumpkin pattern.  Pin and cut 2 out of orange fabric.

Place the pumpkins on opposite ends of ONE of the table runners.  Place the pumpkins pretty side up on top of the runner pretty side up.  Pin in place.  Cut a "pumpkin stem" out of scraps of brown fabric and put it under the pumpkin with a little bit showing as seen in the photo.

We will be using the machine appliqué method. Zigzag stitch around the pumpkin and stem stitching close to edge of the pumpkin.

Place your quilt batting piece on a flat surface.  Next place one piece of table runner pretty side up.  Next place a 2nd table runner piece pretty side down as shown in the photo.  Pin all the way around the runner.  Leave an opening for turning.  Straight stitch around the runner using the pressure foot as your guide.  Don't forget to leave an opening.

Trim seams and clip corners.  Turn your table runner pretty side out.  Poke out corners. Press. Hand stitch the opening closed.

How to make  a small Autumn Quilted Appliqué Table Runner

To "quilt" your runner, straight stitch 2 lines down each pumpkin going through all 4 layers of fabric.  Stitch them so they appear to make the pumpkin look 3D, as seen in the photo.

Your Autumn table runner with appliquéd pumpkins is done!!!
