I bought this GOLD thread a couple of years ago.
Every once in a while...
It's the PERFECT touch!
Such a simple little thing...
can add SOoooo much!
I had a small piece of that vintage
Poinsettia fabric.
Isn't it pretty?

I pieced it simply...
and added the GOLD thread
with a lightweight flannel backing.
I LOVE the way it shows up on the green border
and matches the gold stripes in the other fabric!!!
;)
I love the simplicity of this project.
and.....
I love the way something VINTAGE
can become something MODERN!!!
This would've come in really handy today. I made a table runner using a City Girl Holiday charm pack, and it has gold all through it. I love your table runner :)
ReplyDeleteSo simple yet so perfect. Great job.
ReplyDeleteAhh, so nice, every bit of it!
ReplyDeleteI think we live in an era and time where people are making an effort to appreciate vintage, upcycling, and repurposing etc. Where I look at your holiday runner and see something WONDerful, my mom's generation struggles a bit I think.:)
ReplyDeleteI really like how the gold turned out. I usually try to match the colors but I like yours better this way.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is vintage? That gives me an odd feeling. But I guess I am vintage, also. We have a small square table cloth made out of that fabric. I think my MIL made it for us when we were newlyweds. For years we used it as our tree skirt. Now it is sitting on top of a dresser in my sewing room, protecting the dresser from the TV I have on top. Anyway, I like your table runner, even though it used "modern" fabric, claiming to be vintage. Haha!
ReplyDeleteP.S. We got married in 1975. See? Just a couple years ago!
DeleteIt really is a nice contrast against the dark.
ReplyDeleteIt really sets it off - just lovely. It is simple and stunning - nicely done!!!
