Finishing this has been my One Monthly Goal for November.
I managed it!
Here it is: quilted, labelled and bound.

with a pretty Danish fabric for the backing. |
The pattern, including the embroidery motifs, was from a QAL by Jacquelynne Steves. I thought about the quilting for a long time, and then, as time was running out, I went for a meander. I used off-white 50 wt thread (Aurifil 2309) on the off-white triangles, and very dark green (5012) on the rest. I used off-white quilting thread in the squares with embroidery. The embroidery was done with 3 strands of DMC stranded cotton.
By the way, that's not black fabric there, but very, very dark green. It's darker than I expected when I ordered it online!

I adore this project. The little embroideries are so perfectly showcased. Kudos for getting your OMG done and dusted! And Happy Thanksgiving from me!
Very pretty and festive looking. Nice work.
Wonderful table runner I love the embroidery accents. It's hard to tell the exact color or shade of fabric on the internet but that sure doesn't keep me from ordering more - ha! Happy Holidays!
Beautiful finish, in plenty of time for Christmas!
Sometimes I wish I enjoyed hand stitching.
It's absolutely fabulous! Enjoy using it this Christmas! Christine xx
