Talking About Wall Hangings

A little while ago I mentioned that my friend Kirsten approached me about running the Modern Christmas Tablerunner Swap this year as things went a little topsy turvy in our house and I didn't have the time or energy to set the swap up when it needed doing. In fact, right now, as I laze about an indoor swimming pool Kirsten is busy sorting out partners for those who signed up. It is going to be a small group this year, but a good one. As I am not organising it this time I will not have a say in who I make for, nor will I know who is making for me.

I got an amazing two sided tablerunner from Sarah last year. So this year I have specified that I would prefer a wall hanging. We only have one table and no other appropriate surfaces to put another runner on. Maybe one day, when I am in my dream house with my dream side tables, my dream formal dining room, and all that other dream stuff, I will be requiring more tablerunners, but for now the one I have will do admirably. 

So here is the inspiration mosaic that I provided for my mystery maker. I think it gets across my love of bright, modern, quirky, hand stitched, perfection. (Joking about the perfection thing. I never ask for what I cannot do myself.)

1. Snow Gnome Pillow, 2. Sneak peak of my quilting..., 3. Houses, 4. tablerunner, 5. Modern Christmas Table Runner Finished!, 6. Savvy seasons done!, 7. WIP -, 8. DSCN1800, 9. well... partner...

With many thanks to Kirsten I shall return to my lazing about the pool while she picks someone she thinks can work with these ideas. Of course, my partner could come up with something completely different. I am entirely open to ideas.
