New table runner....

2 September 2011

Now my family room has been given a new lease of life with its new paint job I felt that my old table runner was looking a bit tired.

So.....I dug through my stash to find something that would compliment my room better.

I used a linen tea towel for the basis of my design....and added in a few extra pieces from some gorgeous new fabrics I had bought recently.

I had no pattern....or clue what I was doing..... I just winged it from start to finish...

I'm pretty happy with the result... although....typical of me....
I've spied a new runner that I'm bursting to stitch...
its all Janelles fault....
her Orange Blossom runner is just too cute to resist !
Then this morning I spied Sheree's version.....and gosh....I'm even more smitten.
So far I've cut out my squares.....I just need to get busy on the appliques...
eeek....exciting.
