Lovely table runner that Lawsonmugs made. Nice and springy.

I am the new proud owner of a fabulous table runner made by M-Fay. The embroidered panel is so detailed and I love the addition of the ladybird. In England, where I'm from, having a ladybird in the house is considered good luck, so I will now permanently have good luck!
Thank you Marion, for such a lovely gift. I will treasure it.

Hmm. For some reason the site won't allow me to post two pics on one thread. Here's a closeup of the center panel. The ladies are crocheted whereas the remainder is hand embroidered. The ladybird is a button. I love all aspects of this runner.

I forgot all the other goodies she sent. A small panel, fabric, brochure about W. Australia, a CD with wildflowers of W. Australia, and a scissor holder/needle case. I've never seen a scissor/ needle case made like this one. Really nifty! Oh, and a little koala bear I've had to rescue from the cat twice!

Belfrybat that is one very pretty runner. I love the crocheting with the embroidery. Reminds me of pillow cases my mama made when I was young. They had the colonial ladies with the pretty crocheted dresses. Cute extras too.

m-fay did a wonderful job on this one. The additions are adorable. What a great idea to add the pictures and brochure. I just might have to borrow this idea.

Wow, that is beautiful. Belfry it was made for you for sure!

I'm so glad it arrived OK and that you like it Belfrybat. I copied the needle case from one I received a couple of years ago from my secret santa. I use it all the time. I'm still waiting....

Good things come to those who wait.:D
