Tannenbaum Table Runner
As the holiday season approaches, we’re eager to share our latest creation with you – the Tannenbaum Table Runner. This modern, festive piece is the perfect addition to your holiday decor, bringing a unique touch of cheer to any dining space. Whether you’re a seasoned quilter or just starting out, this project promises to be a delightful challenge that results in a stunning piece of holiday craftsmanship. Choose your favorite pattern format!
At the heart of the Tannenbaum Table Runner is the foundation paper piecing technique. This method, while offering a bit of a challenge, provides an excellent opportunity for quilters to sharpen their skills.
Tannenbaum Table Runner Pattern Details
The finished size of the runner is a versatile 36″ x 9″, making it a great fit for most tables. We have made the pattern available in both PDF and printed versions to cater to your preference. Additionally, for those who appreciate visual learning, we offer an accompanying video course.
This course not only guides you through the Tannenbaum Table Runner pattern but also imparts valuable tips and tricks on foundation paper piecing. It’s also a fantastic way to use those holiday fabric scraps, ensuring your beloved seasonal prints are showcased beautifully.
Tools of the Trade
For those embarking on this foundation paper piece project, having the right tools can make all the difference. My first recommendation is the add-a-quarter ruler, a revolutionary tool that simplifies trimming excess fabric, making your quilting process both easier and more precise.
To complement this, I suggest using the perfect piecing paper for your templates. Its ease of removal and translucency are ideal for accurate fussy cutting. And if you’re not big on using an iron, the seam roller will be your best friend. However, for those who do use an iron, the Oliso M3Pro Project Iron, combined with a Wool Pressing Mat, is my top recommendation for crisp seams.
Fabric Options
One of the joys of the Tannenbaum Table Runner is its versatility in fabric choice. This project is wonderfully scrap-friendly, allowing you to dive into your Christmas fabric stash and bring those festive patterns to life.
For a harmonious look, consider charm packs that offer coordinating prints. When choosing your background fabric, think about the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. I personally love the elegance of low-volume fabrics, which provide a subtle backdrop for the vibrant trees.
And let’s not forget the finishing touch – a striped binding that adds an extra pop of festivity.
Community Creations
There’s nothing more inspiring than seeing how different quilters bring the same pattern to life. During a recent Quilt Block Club Retreat, our community had the chance to create their own Tannenbaum Table Runners.
The results were nothing short of spectacular, with each runner reflecting the individual style and creativity of its maker. We’ve compiled a gallery of these beautiful runners for you to enjoy and draw inspiration from. Whether it’s the fabric choices, the unique quilting techniques, or the personal touches added by each quilter, these creations are a testament to the versatility and appeal of the Tannenbaum Table Runner.
