Looking for a quickie hostess gift and you did the wine bag last year? How about a simple table runner? Wrap up homemade cookies or a bread in this table runner, wrap with a pretty bow and you have a wonderful gift that any hostess would love! Written by Susan Fuquay, she writes that this project will take you about an hour. I did a little bit one morning and then finished up then next morning so I'm not sure how long it took me but it was a QUICK project. We have a kit with pre-cut strips, so it's entirely possible to finish in an hour. I used the Christmas Stonehenge fabrics from Northcott and this will give any room a bit of glitz and pizazz for Christmas!

I free motioned holly and berries down the center but this would be a good project to practice your straight machine quilting too.
Want to add a bit more to the gift? Riley Blake has a great video on how to make quick hot pads. Make a coordinating hot pad to go with the table runner!
