Sadly my life has had little time for creativity lately, apart from some quick paper projects. This week I found a little more time since I am no longer glued to the TV each evening watching Masterchef. I worked on my Hexagon project and have completed a table runner.
I used natural osnaburg for the base fabric, and then added lots of little hexagons in Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit.
The backing is a leaf vein print from Modern Meadow. I love how it looked after the quilting. I quilted it in parallel lines, 3/8 inch apart.
It was very therapeutic to get back to sewing again. I can see more hexagon projects in my sewing future but next up I have a quilt top to quilt.
It’s so lovely. I love the colours you used. I have been planning to make a table runner for a while now, I think they look so cute, but somehow I never got to it. But who knows, maybe this weekend. You inspired me to get busy! 🙂
So very cute! Love those hexies!
Wonderful and beautiful. I love your quilted runner. The colors are so happy. You did a wonderful job with this piece. I love sewing too and find it very restful. Dogwood
super duper cute! Love it!
What a lovely table runner.
woah, that is looking great! Awesome work 🙂
Looks great – love it
This is beautiful! A contemporary take on a traditional craft! Love the colours! Lots of love, Amanda xxx
Absolutely lovely, Lisa!!! I love how you first quilted the tablerunner and then sewed the hexagons on it. Perfect fabrics too, for the runner. Glad you could find time for this, to inspire us!!!
Looks great I love hexies
Lisa i love this, could be that i love the look of the plain osnaburg and the quilting, it all looks amazing. We (Andrew & I) are a little bit lost without MasterChef and the TourDeFrance,back to crafting i suppose.

Your table runner is absolutely the best!! I just love it – the randomness of the placement of the hexies. Great imagination. ~karen
the table runner is gorgeous Lisa. I especially love the random placement of the hexagons…very cute! Your quilt top is finished? YIPPPEEEEEEE…can’t wait to see it finished.
We are a bit lost without Masterchef too, but I haven’t managed to craft much as yet…maybe next week? LOL
Pretty, pretty! Sometimes it feels good to fit a project into our busy week.
This is so gorgeous! I love the solid fabric you used. And the placement of the hexagons is just perfect. Looks great on your table!
Love it! I am completely in love with hexies at the moment and yours are truly wonderful.
very pretty 🙂
Love how fresh and inviting this is. The quilting is lovley. Beautiful job.
In love!!! It is simply gorgeous!!!
I love your hexie runner, Lisa. Just gorgeous.
SO pretty!
Your table runner looks beautiful, I love the colours in the modern meadow range.
You will need to start practicing your recipes for Masterchef 3 🙂
I totally understand the Masterchef addiction! 🙂
Love the runner – simple and elegant with a touch of fun. Wonderful!
Sewing is sooo relaxing!
Lisa, your table runner looks really nice! Quilting in parallel lines is a great idea. I’ve never thought of quilting with that pattern. Thanks!

I agree with Amanda and Simone – I love the modern/traditional interplay, and I love the pre-quilted/patched-over look. This makes me want to sew something similar for my quilt chest/coffee table.
Absolutely beautiful, Lisa! Your hexy tablerunner is gorgeous, I love the backing too! I have just bought some hexy templates – do you have any tips to get perfect hexies?!!!
Your photographs are stunning Lisa, I’ve read a few posts and love the pics of your baking!
Hugs! Vikki xx
