Christmas Present Table Runner

One of the Christmas presents I made was a table runner for my mom and step dad. I made them a quilt for last Christmas and they are scared to use it. So I made them this so they could use it and not feel bad. 

I took a class on appliqué at Quilt Fest so I used my newly acquired skills to make 20 sunflowers and leaves to add to this table runner. I learned about an awesome basting glue and how to make perfect circles with freezer paper. 

It took quite a few nights of hand sewing in front of the TV. 

Kind of weird picture but they loved it. I promptly spilled something on it to break it in!
