Jan 23, 2024 - Dresden Reimagined-Marcia Mulder
March 19,2024 -Hollow Star Table Runner
1-4pm -Krista Moser
This Hollow Star table runner is the perfect choice for any holiday. Whether you choose Christmas prints, Hanukkah colors, or patriotic fabrics, the finished project will be stunning! Construction is simple. Sew together two halves and finish by sewing the center seam so there are no inset points!
Krista made this Table Runner with the Creative Grids 60 Degree Diamond ruler but you can also use the Creative Grids 60 Degree Diamond Mini ruler so there is less acrylic to manipulate.
Here are the links for the Pattern and the Ruler that you will need.
Large Ruler: https://www.kristamoser.com/product-page/creative-grids-non-slip-60-degree-diamond-ruler
OR you can use and order the smaller ruler from her also.
