Detour Table Set

In amongst all of the client quilts that filtered through my studio, I did manage to finish a Christmas gift for my mother and father in law.  They downsized into a new place over the summer and bought some new smaller furniture including a new kitchen table, so a set of placemats and table runner to match was a fun idea.

I chose one of our Highway 10 Designs patterns called Detour.  I found the fabrics at a quilt retreat when Oma's quilt shop was a vendor.  The main fabric is from the Northcott Stonehenge Surfaces collection with coordinates from Northcott basics collections.

I cut out the fabric and then had a little work bee with my husband and daughter to piece them.  (After all, their names were going on the gift so helping only seemed right.)  I pinned and organized, Kendra did all the sewing and Nolan did all the pressing.  Many hands make light work! As a group we selected the Lithe pantograph and then the rest was up to me for quilting and binding.

The Detour pattern is available as PDF download or in paper format from the Highway 10 Designs website if you would like to make your own set.
