Reversible Table Runner

 

 

 

 

I have a dear friend who is getting married...

...and it's a perfect love match.

Of equal importance, perhaps, this union also has the seal of parental approval...

...a real testimony to the love and respect they each feel for their families.

I wanted to make an engagement gift as bright as the promise of their happy future...

...so I chose perky blues, purples and greens for this project.

I made batts in each of these colors...

...and on one side, added pencil roving in aqua, lavender and garnet.

I added snippets of sari fabric (a nod to their shared heritage)...

...and dyed curly locks.

It's pretty busy on one side...

...so I left the other side as is...

...just stripes of varying shades and hues.

This way, it can liven up a simple vase or tableau...

...or serve as backdrop for a more complex table arrangement.

(She hasn't seen this yet, so 'mum's the word', mutual friends!)
