“Christmas in July” at BOMquilts.com!
Just in case you haven’t heard and/or read about it, on my sister site (BOMquilts.com) I’m having my annual “Christmas in July” quilt program & I think you’re going to LOVE ♥ what I have in store for you! There will be five different & original table runner patterns posted, once a week (on Tuesday’s) throughout the month of July!
The first table runner has been revealed and here’s what it looks like:
This year it’s all about table runners. But don’t let the word “runners” get you to thinking that you can *only* make a table runner out of each of these projects 🙂 . Oh no, don’t go thinking that! Here’s just a little sneak peek at what you can do with the table runner pattern shown above…
If you just make four “Roman Squares Quilt Blocks†(instead of the table runner) you’ll end up with a 36″ square Table Topper.
********************
If you make six “Roman Squares Table Runnersâ€, you’ll end up with a foot warmer for a bed & the size would be 18″ x 54″.
********************
See what I mean? And the list goes on and on, five different table runners & innumerable number’s of quilty projects that you can make from just those table runner free patterns!
What are you waiting for? Jump on over to my sister site & download the “Roman Squares Table Runner” free pattern. And then mark up your calendar, so you don’t miss a single pattern that’s due to be posted every Tuesday throughout July, 2019!
