Orange Blossom - runner

14 October 2011

Its been on the go for awhile.....
I have plugged away at it....
cutting some pieces here....
cutting the appliques there...
stitching the appliques...
blocking it together....
finishing off...
all done in little slots of time I had available.
So it felt like Id finished the marathon when it was done...
and I thought to myself.....
there is no such excuse as "not enough time".

So here she is...
my Mardi'fied version of Janelle's beautiful Orange Blossom runner.
I adored Janelle's original with its beautifully hand stitched appliques... but mine is a little different.
I used a raw edge rough applique in a contrasting thread...
and I think it turned out pretty OK.




It sure does brighten up the table too.
