PS Snownananie if you speak to your friend could you please let me know what she wants in a runner/mat size etc. I wrote both of you and no reply yet. I can't start without a clue what to make. Or she will get my choice which might not be hers! See how important contact is ladies? if I made a 48 in table runner and there only a 20" table to put it on there could be a frowning face in the end in stead of smiles. I will wait. a few more days.. then I will start sewing. Crossing fingers!
