    Default French Braid Country Table Runner

    I've been meaning to photograph this since our guild's retreat over Halloween, but I just didn't get around to it until now over the Christmas holidays. This was my first french braid and it was really fun! The center fabric is a drawing from jan_harbon on Spoonflower and is called Gilbert's Garden based on Gilbert White's Garden, Selborne, England. She did a beautiful job. I tea-dyed the fabric though, because the white background ended up being too stark in comparison to my other fabrics...my first tea-dying experience...was really neat! Sorry everything's a bit dark...we don't have much sunlight in Germany this time of year!

    I really like your color flow on this runner. It reminds me of "peace" and "quiet".
