Seasonal decor

There is nothing new to show around here this year for Valentine's Day quilting, but I have pulled out a couple of table runners to brighten up the house.  This one was a 2018 project and is very long, which is OK for my dining room table when both leaves are in the table. 

And this one is probably about 8 or 10 years old, hand quilted and one of my old favorites.  I hand quilted around the hearts in the center fabric, and then added some simple hand quilting in the borders.  I've used this pattern (Waffle ??) several times to make square and rectangular table runners. It was a terrific pattern for showcasing a pretty fabric in the center without cutting small pieces.

Having a few pops of pink is pretty deceptive since we are still deep in the clutches of winter around here.  But it does brighten up the house and hints that spring will comes around eventually.
