Abbi Mays Exclusive: Love Me Tender table runner!
There is a treasure trove of love in this Love Me Tender table runner!
We made our sample as a large table runner out of the fabrics from Caroline's Collection and it gave it a pretty shabby chic look!
I asked my friend Tammy of BOM Quilts if she could make this into a pattern for a baby quilt and she did! The free pattern from BOM Quilts comes in 3 sizes.
