Harvest Table Runner SAL

Post by AnimaValida »

I'm starting a Christmas present for my MIL-to-be! This is my first time working with a table runner (its a sturdy fabric and the 1st time I havent needed to use a hoop) and it's also my first time working over 2. I'm going to need lots of encouragement! And I'm usually a pretty quick stitcher, but this is taking forever! I'm hoping I'll finish in time!

Here's how it's supposed to look:

And here's where I am after about 7 hours:

I need some help with this and I've posted a thread about DMC colors if you guys could check that out too!? Sorry, I don't know how to link it.

Here's an update! This design is so beautiful, I'm going to hate giving it all away as presents...

Here's a pic of one side of the table runner:

And here's a close-up of the bottom right corner of the placemats:

I feel like I've made some progress, but I still have a LONG way to go! Thanks for looking!

They are lovely already -- I can quite understand why it's difficult to give them away!
