CRAZY QUILT TABLE RUNNER

This was fun --- something different for me --- crazy quilting on the machine.  
 My machine is two years old, but nothing fancy with just a few embroidery stitches built in.  I had never fully experimented with the embroidery function.  It gave me some fits along the way, but I think I finally proved that I was the boss!
My original purpose in doing table runners was to practice some simple machine quilting skills.  And with this runner, I think I've finally mastered quilting-in-the-ditch.
 My inspiration for the Fall colors was my great-grandmother's punch bowl.
Nothing better than Fall in Colorado -- I'm ready with my first table arrangement for the season.
