You really Wowed me! First with the "flower" and then with the table runner. You are extremely talented. I subscribed to your blog in hopes to see future quilt work.

You're too sweet! Thank you so much for the kind words - I hope I'll have plenty more hand-made treats to share; it's good to keep one's hands busy...
I just love this! Did you make up the pattern or did you purchase it? I would love to try my hand at this, it is just lovely!!
Hi Mama Spark -
I made this one; no pattern. I cut templates for the stars out of some recycled cardboard. They were sewn first, the button centers added and then they were appliqued to the background. Then a layer of quilt batting was placed between the background fabric and a contrasting fabric for the backside. The runner was then quilted on a machine following the outlines of the stars. Finally the border was tacked on and sewn - I think I did that by hand. I hope that helps! I'd love to see what you come up with!
