Assembling wool pieces...
what will work...what needs moved...
what needs tossed out.
Lots of trimming, shaping and plenty of
"No, that won't work !"
The result is a long wool table runner.
46 inches long x 8 inches wide
The center of this table runner is
a punch needle design, 'Primitive Pinwheels'.
I was looking for an interesting finish...
something I could take with me to a show or two this year.
something I could take with me to a show or two this year.
I duplicated the pinwheels in wool fabric to match
the punch needle design...
added leaves with just a bit of Feather stitch,
topped off with a few red French knots
topped off with a few red French knots
in the center of each Pinwheel.
Valdani Perle Cotton was used throughout this project
The edges are finished with a Blanket Stitch.

We are anticipating a snow storm arriving
on Friday into Saturday.
Groceries have been stocked...
(Goodness knows we have to have good food,
if we are to be gathered together for days.)
The snow blower stands 'at the ready'...
Hot Chocolate, with extra marshmallows
awaits the 'snowman builders' and sledders...
The bird feeder is full...
and most importantly, stitching projects are
ready and waiting, to pass the time.
