Set your table in style

Table runners and small table toppers are perennial favorites among quilters. They're easy on the budget and easy on your schedule. But best of all, they let you show off your love of quilting to family and friends, whether setting the table for a casual coffee break with neighbors, wine and cheese with your book club, or full-on holiday festivities. You'll find a dozen patterns in this book and one of Pat Sloan's favorite dessert recipes. Make one or make them all, and you'll proudly show off the results in no time.
