This is the last patchwork made in 2009. A custom order for a table runner. Love the colours on it. It is Christmas like, but too much Christams in there. It could a nice Valentine or just a stylish red and white table addition. I have made a few table runners with similar look - same pattern, different colours. This is the boldest. The contrast between red and and the whites is really strong and the red vivid. But the white/ecru combo softens it and adds style. The back is burgundy deep red with ecru quilting on it. More pictures on Flickr. A lot actually. I took 100+ pictures and changed most to "private" not to bother people on Flickr... The first time I do it. The table runner will be added to my etsy shop as another custom table runner tomorrow.

This is something I made just before finishing my Doll Quilt Swap quilt. It was a present for a special family friend. I have made several of this table runners and I love the way this simple pattern turns into a soft crinkled beauty. I like simple designs, not too complicated or ornamental. The centre of this one is ornamental actually, but in a very soft way as it is only light and shadow, crinkles and puckering that create the ornament. Well, I think I will make more of these pretty soon. I really love the soft effect of ecru and fresh airy solids with traditional quilting motive. It seems I am in a soft colours period now. I will show you the wedding quilt I made in August. Soft colours...well, not exactly this kind of softness. This table runner can be ordered in the Boutique (plus an option for custom colours).
