Table Runner Mania - Christmas Edition

Between menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking and overall general Turkey Day prep, I managed to get a little sewing done this week. To go along with our Charlie Brown Christmas theme, I have started the following table runners:
A disappearing nine-patch using more of that adorable Charlie Brown Christmas fabric.
More CB fabric this time using the Scrappy Star pattern by Heather Mulder Peterson's Little Charmers II.    I saw a similar table runner on Quilt Monster in My Closet and loved the idea of hand stitching to highlight the stars.  Thanks Christine for the idea!

And I am continuing to quilt a Christmas project.

I have moved to FMQ'ing the borders with loops and right away ran into CONSTANT thread breaking!  Yikes!  So frustrating!  After a process of elimination, I have changed to a larger needle and so far (fingers crossed) the thread is cooperating.  I really love the free styling of FMQ'ing so I hope this problem is solved!

Linking up with Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday!  Happy Thanksgiving!

PS  Isn't Thanksgiving just the perfect holiday?
