Lisa Walton shares with you her expertise and advice on creating your own fabrics using fabric painting and stencils. Create your own Japanese-style fabrics to make your version of her tablerunner pattern.

• Follow along with Lisa in the tutorial as she shows you how to paint the fabric in a gradient to ensure you have fabrics of different values to create interest in your design
• Then learn how to stencil fun, Japanese-style designs onto your painted fabric, cut the fabrics and turn them into a tablerunner
• Full materials list included with instructions
• Step-by-step instructions with clear and detailed diagrams take you through all of the steps, from painting and stencilling your fabrics to cutting the pieces, joining the tablerunner top, quilting and finishing the tablerunner with a facing rather than a binding
• A great beginner project for quilters looking to learn how to paint and create their own fabrics, and a good small project for learning quilting on a domestic sewing machine
