I finished sewing the binding down on this table runner last night, wrapped it up this morning and popped it in the pigeon hole of the birthday girl. When she unwrapped it at recess she was more than okay that it was late! Everyone crowded around her and ohhed and ahhed which I'll admit I found embarrassing. I'm proud of my work but that part makes me blush.
Its adapted from the pattern Aunt Millie's Garden. I appliqued the shapes on just with the raw edge style, then pebble quilted it till it was as stiff as a board!
In hindsight, I should have done it 3 flowers on one side, 2 on the other. Oh well, next time!

Love your tablerunner. The blue fabrics are my favorite. I have that pattern so I'm going to try to do what you did. Great idea!
That's really beautiful - love the flowers.
This is beautiful. Charming, elegant and I'm sure well received. I like how you adapted the design to your own use.
This is really lovely. I love the flowers and the blue on white. Gorgeous work, gorgeous lady.

It's gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. I'm not surprised everyone gushed over your work - enjoy it!
HOw beautiful. I don't think you made a mistake with the flower placement at all, it looks wonderful.
That's simply stunning :D
Are you kidding? It is perfect! Hey, my birthday is coming up... :-)
Just stumbled onto your blog, but I had to comment about this table runner: I think it is just perfect as it is! Don't pick it apart, just enjoy how really beautiful it is!! I'd be totally proud of it if I made it :-) From one Helen (in Healdsburg, Ca) to another, have a great week!
