I love Christmas. It's my favourite time of year. Last year I was determined to have at least 1 handmade Christmas item on display which I had created myself. The Stars and Swirls table runner fit the bill nicely and, as an added bonus, was the 2nd quilting item I have completed since starting quilting!
Here it is in all it's glory, nicely set off by some new Christmas decorations.
Here's a close-up with some of the detail. The stars were hand appliqued with blanket stitch. The swirls were hand embroidered with stem stitch in metallic gold thread.
I now have a couple of other Christmas projects I want to complete but at the rate I am currently going I don't think they will get done in time for this Christmas!
Happy stitching everyone.
Cheers,
Tracy
