Quilted Table Runner: Lavender Cottage Elegance

For those who find solace in the soothing scent of lavender, I've crafted this delightful table runner inspired by the ambiance of a quaint cottage kitchen. The subtle embroidery and delicate hues are designed to complement your space, creating the perfect backdrop for a pot of calming tea and a plate of homemade cookies.

A quilted table runner is more than just a decorative piece; it's a testament to craftsmanship and creativity. Crafted with care, each table runner tells a unique story through its intricate patterns and choice of fabrics. These runners not only add a touch of warmth and charm to any dining table but also serve as a canvas for artistic expression.

Whether adorned with vibrant patchwork or subtle quilting, a quilted table runner is a versatile accessory that can transform a plain tabletop into a captivating focal point. Its tactile beauty invites both the eyes and hands, making it a delightful addition to any home, whether for everyday use or special occasions. With their ability to blend tradition and innovation, quilted table runners effortlessly infuse a sense of comfort and elegance into any space they grace.

Follow These Steps To Create Your Own Lavender-Themed Quilted Table Runner

Step One: Lavender Appliqué Design

Using appliqué instructions as a reference, craft a lavender flower appliqué on a piece of plain lilac linen. Utilize the provided photographs on the opposite page for guidance. Enhance the design with embroidery, beads, and sequins. Employ a machine zigzag stitch for the stem.

Start Assembling The Table Runner Elements

Step Two: Assemble the Central Panel

Cut two pieces of lilac dotted fabric, each measuring 7 x 21 inches (17.5 x 52 cm). With the right sides facing, stitch one piece of lilac dotted fabric to each end of the linen appliqué. Use 1/4-inch (5mm) seams. Open and press the seams flat.

Step Three: Create the Side Panels

Cut the floral fabric into four strips, each measuring 4 x 21 inches (10 x 52 cm). Cut two strips from the lilac dotted fabric of the same size. With the right sides facing, stitch a lilac floral strip to each end of the lilac dotted strips. Press the seams flat. Attach the dotted/floral strips to either side of the central panel, ensuring seams match. Press the seams flat.

Add Design Details To Our Table Runner

Step Four: Add Ribbon Detail

Cut the ribbon in half and pin the lengths across the runner to conceal the seams between the center section and the two end sections. Secure the ribbon in place using an open zigzag stitch.


Step Five: Embellish with Buttons

Attach a mother-of-pearl button onto the ribbon at each corner of the different sections of the appliqué panel.
