Winter Roses

A pretty table runner is the first project I finished using Laney, a vintage Singer 301A machine that we restored and painted last year.


The rose print fabric with a black background looks sweet combined with green leaves and a pink center. The weathervane block done in these colors looks like a flower. The pieces are small but went together nicely.


Sewing and quilting came out neat and smooth; Laney is a joy to stitch on. Winter Rose measures 13” x 44” after adding blue borders. I channel quilted in a straight stitch using medium beige thread.
