I have been doing a lot of sewing of Christmas presents lately. Pardon the lack of blogging, but I have not wanted the potential recipients to see what they may get. I have one item, though to share. Last Sunday I got up 2 hours before my house normally rises to finish this table runner.
It's not the best picture, but the fabrics are lovely, and it has a French Provential feel. Upon completing it, I immediately fell in love and almost decided I'd keep it for myself. It matches our dining room really well. OK, so now I'm back one step on getting ready for Xmas.
Step 2: Redesign another runner for this person. Here's what I have so far. It still needs to have a few more leaves and the flowers appliqued on. Again, a bad picture but you can get the idea. The flowers will be shades of cranberry and plum.
So here's my delimma...Which do I keep and which do I give away???
Yikes, they're both great but I've found from experience that you should keep the more time consuming one because you almost never will make it again for yourself.
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous. Tough Thinking--good luck picking one!
ReplyDeleteI like the lilac one with the vines. Is this your original pattern?
