I took these photos at noon today. I had to enlist the aid of the flash on my camera for some of them. When we over here in the UK have been complaining of lack of light we have been doing so for very good reason. All that being said, I am happy with this finish.
The snowflakes done in white perle on white cotton do not show up very well in the photos but I think they add a nice subtle touch to the runner. Subtle is not something that you come across often in my blog so enjoy it while you can.
I still need to make a Christmas decoration to go into this swap parcel but the main bit is done, ahead of time at that. Once this is posted I will be swap free for two or three months. There is enough to do with Christmas presents to be made, etc.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Susan
Susan, it's beautiful and the snowflakes are just the right touch!
ReplyDeleteHere on the Canadian prairie we've had a lack of sunshine also, which is most unusual.
it's lovely! (and bloody weather!!!!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to put it on my table! Just two more weeks and the Advent starts with lots of decorations :)
ReplyDeleteIt is fab! If I wasn't so rubbish at hand sewing (and EPP in particular) I'd be seriously tempted to make a version of this.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful! I love all the parts, and I am sure it will look perfect on most every table.
ReplyDeleteits really lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteSome lucky person will be getting a beautiful table runner. I also love the fabric on the back.
ReplyDeleteI could cope with the foggy grey if I could just get THAT song outta my head!!
ReplyDeleteMind you yesterday I had "Life in a Northern Town" on repeat so I guess it's a change of sorts. LOL
Love the runner, wish I was not so busy with moving & business stuff, sewing has taken a back seat :(
Gorgeous! You did good, girl!
ReplyDeleteThis maybe my favourite in the whole swap. I'm not feeling smug that I've done my decoration as I've not done my runner. I have though done some really crap drawings and posted them to the group for everyone to see.
ReplyDeleteOnce again you have a lucky partner
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteR x
Turned out amazing S! You do subtlety very well! Jxo

ReplyDeleteHave to say I'm glad you lied! Love it - fantastic - can't wait to see your ornament....and well done on being ahead of time! Something I don't seem to manage!
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is stunning Susan!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about how {dark} it is in the UK atm. I needed my car headlights on all day today, it was that grim.
ReplyDeleteLove the runner and those snowflakes are gorgeous.
Your lies are forgiven when you can show us eye candy like this! I REALLY love those subtle snowflakes - it's a fabulous festive runner!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful runner Susan, the snowflakes will add lovely texture.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, I love it!
ReplyDeleteHa ha... I know where you're coming from with the flashy pictures (Denmark is like UK.. Maybe worse... That's another discussion) what I meant to say was I can really see how great and colorful and bright this is in real live :)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Susan, really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is one absolutely stunning runner Susan, your partner is SOOOO lucky

PS, it's better to have overcast days than sun for evenly lit photographs
The snowflakes are charming. I think those little touches are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI know envy is bad ;) but I do envy the recipient. The runner is great. I love the red stitch around the border and the snowflakes are a perfect addition.
ReplyDeleteEven in the sad light it looks lovely :) I love the red stitching!
