Riley Blake - Gentler Times - Pretty Pears Runner Kit by Lori Holt

The pear print on this fabric is just so cheerful, and the kit has everything cut and ready for the runner top plus binding—I had it pieced in one afternoon. The pattern itself is written really well, too.

The pattern was clear and easy to follow, even for an intermediate sewer like me. I love how the pear motifs came together, and the fabric feels durable yet soft after a first wash. Perfect for adding a charming touch to my dining table.

The fabric has that soft, vintage feel I was hoping for, and the binding instructions made finishing the runner surprisingly quick. I’ve already cut out a second one for a gift—it’s that fun to sew.
