Feather Runner By: Joy Voltenburg,
Illinois, USA
This was a test of thread and fabric. I’d received a cone of Glide thread from the manufacturer and was asked to give feedback on how it performed. I used a crepe-backed satin fabric – using the shiny side up on the top and the crepe side down on the back. The thread performed wonderfully.

I saw a photo of this runner quite a while ago and just kept a copy on the back burner for when I would have time to make it. When I was working on Christmas log cabin placemats I use the scraps for the small red & cream blocks and it came together nicely. Hoping it’s finished before Santa arrives!

This pattern is from the December 2010 issue of Quilter’s World magazine. I only learned to quilt in 2008, and this quilt presented me with some new challenges, not the least of which was making a template for the Christmas tree. It was also my first use of Angelina fibers and hot fix crystals.

We do not have this tradition but we do Yule Log, Christmas Cake and Breudher (a dutch origin cross between a bread and cake!). I love reading about the cookie bakathons though!
For some (funny) reason, the page is not downloading properly and doesn’t let me vote. All I can see is the results after 324 voters. I would have voted for Winter Wonderland too, because it is so different and it can stay on the table the entire winter. Thanks.
Still waiting for the winners to be announced. Should I just give up?
