Just a little stitching to start the year

To start off the year I made a little table runner . . .


It's to go with our "Cotswolds" quilt.


The star is the same as the one in the centre medallion of the quilt . . . and will adorn the cedar drawers we have in our bedroom. It just has simple hand quilting to give it a bit of definition.

The fabric I used for the background to the star in the quilt is what I used for the centre of the star on the table runner. I only ever had a small piece of this fabric - no idea who made it or the design name (it came in a random fabric pack), but if I ever came across it again I'd get more. It has the most lovely soft hanky feel to it. So, if you can help identify this fabric, please let me know . . .


It's not a big start to the year, I know, but it is a start. Now all I need is to keep that momentum going!!!

That's a good idea and it looks great! I have also made the Cotswald quilt and I think it is one of my all time favourites.

Nice compliment too the Cotswold. Very co-ordinated bed room. Not at all like mine. ha!

Great start to the year Sue - and love your large quilt too! The fabric looks a bit like an English liberty print I had years ago but don't have anymore! It was a Liberty lawn and so beautiful to use - I made a little quilt for Same when he was born (27 years ago) out of some Liberty lawns - just divine!! Keep up the good stitching ... hope to see you soon!! xxxx
