This is for a lady who will celebrating her 80th next month. Her year of birth therefore 1930, I thought of using Thirties fabrics to make a table runner - she likes entertaining friends to tea.
Enjoyed making it, hope she likes it too!

Eighty! Wow ... and still entertaining. Bless her heart! I can see her using this on her table very easily with her fine china teapot and cups. You did good! I Love your way of thinking... Practicality and Beauty.

That is beautiful! And the blue gingham for the back is perfect!

Katrine 02-13-2010 08:53 AM

Thanks so much everyone - if she likes it as much as you all I shall be thrilled.
I've known the lady 20 years, she is amazing so much energy and "go" and a good friend - you would think when you meet her she is early 60s-ish. Very with it & fun loving and throwing a party for the birthday, which everyone is looking forward to, it will be lively for sure.

Red Garnet - yes she does love fine china, and has tea at the Ritz on UK visits!

That is beautiful. What a great idea to use 1930s fabric.

Rhonda 02-13-2010 12:45 PM

that is just beautiful Kathy!!! I love it! I would never be brave enough to use white as a border. But it brings out all those colors in the middle! Love the pinwheels!

She will love the table runner. The fabrics are perfect. 30's fabrics looks so bright and cheerful.
