Tuesday Tidbit, June 27, 2022: A Quick and Easy Guide to Border Stripe Table Runners

Summer doesn't leave a whole lot of time for quilting, so some quick and easy projects feed that need to create. This Border Stripe Table Runner has been around for a bit, but it's one that we keep going back to as it is 1) quick 2) easy and 3) perfect if you need a quick gift or something absolutely gorgeous to adorn your table.
We're going to walk through the process with you today along with offering you a whole bunch of kits that are extremely cost-efficient. Click here to go to our Border Stripe page to see what's available. Each kit will have 2 yds of the border stripe and 1 1/2 yds of backing. All you need to provide is batting and time.
If you have border stripes in your stash, feel free to download the pattern on our website to get started on your next new project.

You might have noticed that our quilt store has closed when you visited our previous website and we transitioned to our new endeavor, Two Sisters Quilt Company. All of our blogs were moved to that website. You can find this blog and its pattern here: twosistersquiltco.com/a-quick-and-easy-guide-to-border-stripe-table-runners/
