Thank you all so very much. It was a really fast finish compared to other runners I have made. But, like I said this is what she wanted. There was no name on the batik (front fabric), the backing fabric I bought at Hancock Fabrics in sparks, nevada some time ago. and the binding is a lovely marbled brown I had left over from a fall bargello quilt. The backing fabric was so nice I bought more than I needed thinking that it would be nice as a summer tote bag. I originally got it to make myself placemats for my breakfast bar that you see here.

I will give it to her next time I see her. I don't like going over to her house. Too many people I don't know.

A great way to showcase two great batiks.

I particularly like the autumn one ... do you know what batik company it is from?
Please? and Thanks!

Like I mentioned, there was no name on the fabric, but, you might try Hancock's of Paducah on line. They have tons of nice batiks.

That is a beautiful runner, both sides. Sometimes simple is best, let the fabric do the work! And a great trade, something she wanted for something you love. Good all around, if you ask me!

I love the idea of using two different seasons on one runner ! Can't decide which one I like best...both are wonderful !

Sounds like a great deal for both of you. Beautiful two sided table runner.

Gorgeous and reversible makes it twice as nice. Thanks for sharing

I like that you let the fabrics be the stars of the show.

They are lovely.

Actually I like the simplicity of this runner. The fabrics on both sides are lovely enough to stand alone.

Thanks ... The batiks I am used to never seem to have info on the selvage. You just go with what is on the bolt ends. I'll take a look at Hancock's site, and see if I can find it.

Or if anyone else happens to know???
Please do tell! :)
