I have a small 3 shelf bookcase near my sewing machine, and use it all the time. I don't like dust or to dust, so I decided that a table runner was the answer.

I'm a real runner!!
No, not physically, but I am loving all my sew runners in my sewing room! I have now completed 3 and have about 6 more to go. These guys are quick and fun. I am all for both of those traits.

Cindy at Live A Colorful Life gave me a mini charm pack of 'April Showers', and I love how cheerful these fabrics look. I ordered a second pack, and here they are.
This is the very first time I've used my design wall! As you can see, I haven't even pressed it yet. I still need to add some grommets to the bottom and secure it.
I decided to go with a pretty dense matchstick quilting. All I had was a scrap of polyester batting, so I had to do something to tame the loft.
I grabbed a couple of scraps from my stash, and I'm thinking that it all came together pretty well.
Finished size is 10x28. I'm loving how fun and bright it came out.
