I knew when my Pam Kitty Love fabric came in the mail from Pam that I wanted to make a project for Valentine's Day. I adore Pam's fabric. It is like Pam and Holly created fabric just for me.
I thought I would use my tutorial found here for the hearts and sew up a table runner for my big kitchen table. The tutorial was easily adapted and I made 5 connecting hearts. Smaller tables may want to make 3 hearts.
I used my scraps from my PamKittyLove quilt (working on the pattern) that I'll be showing soon. I love the vintage valentines in the border print and the little conversation hearts in the sashing.
I quilted the runner myself. I cross hatched the hearts, pebble quilted the light fabrics and stippled in the border. The project went pretty fast but the project did take most of one day from start to finish. I bound the runner with Pam's red gingham (love that!).
I placed my reproduction (Target several years ago) platter in the center of the table. I think the runner and platter look very cute together.
There is still plenty of time to sew for Valentine's Day. Scrappy hearts are fun and super easy to make, especially when teamed up with PamKittyLove.

Very very cute Nanette with your pattern and Pam's fabric!
So darn cute!
So cute, Nanette. I think you and Pam are two peas in a pod.
your runner is adorable.
i love your heart quilt tutorial.
which reminds me . . . it's just about time to get my valentines quilt out!
Nanette ... your original banner pattern was one of my earliest quilts. It is still one of my favorites, even though anyone can tell I was very much a beginner when viewed close-up. When I followed the link to your 2008 post I found I commented twice.
I still love your pattern. It looks wonedrful in the PKM fabrics as a tablerunner. I think I have to sew this one again ... ;) Pat
Very cute indeed! Love, love love it!!!!
I like the hearts facing both directions so the PKM love is shared from either side of the table :) This is really adorable, Nanette!
Your runner is adorable! But then everything you make is wonderful. This fabric is on my list!
I love your runner. Is the fabric available now?
Oh you are killing me girl!!!!....
I heart your hearts...
I heart PKM...
and I heart you!!!
Just when I think you've reached the peak of cute - you come up with a new one! This fabric and pattern do seem made for each other.
OHMYGOODNESS!!
I'm totally going to say the same thing Pam said!!! Oh my goodness...so gorgeous!!!
Beautiful runner! Love it.
Awsome job on the table runner.
Love the vintage look you achieved by using the different materials.
A very special Valentine'd Day heirloom you have created! What a darling way to get to use so many of PKMLove sweetness!
this is beautiful!
Beautiful! I've got some reds in my stash that this will be perfect for. Thanks for sharing the tutorial on how to make the hearts too!!
What a darling little runner! Of course it puts me in mind of those Valentine's Day parties in grade school and handing out all the little cards to everyone in the class, including that girl you didn't like because she was mean to you and that boy you had the crush on, because your mom made you do the right thing and give one to everyone! LOL! I think I'm getting old!
What a winning combination!!
Darling fabric + terrific pattern = extreme cuteness
Very, very cute Nanette. Looks like you're all ready for the holiday of Loooooove!
really cute and Pam's fabric is perfect for it. I love her fabric too. Don't have any yet but I plan to buy some with a gift card I got for a on line shop.
Oh that put a smile on my face! I just love it! Thanks for the inspirations!
SO cute! Pam's showing it on FB!!
It's absolutely perfect! and so is the platter.
Absolutely lovely! Adorable! I'm in blue and white mode for a winter project but will switch to red and white projects in ten days. Too many fun fabrics and projects these days!
Adorable is all I can say! The valentine plate is a perfect pair for your sweet runner. You make the cutest things, Nanette :)
Wonderful! (Although what would take most of a day for you might take most of a month for me!)
This is SOOOO cute! :O)
