Several months ago, I promised one of my sister-in-law's that I would make her a tablerunner to co-ordinate with her newly decorated kitchen/dineing room. Time had passed by while I deliberated over which pattern tandf fabrics to use. Eventually, I gathered together some gorgeous bright batik fabrics from my stash, previouly purchased from Sew and So's along with a textured linen from Franklins in Ipswich - and chose one of my favourite tablerunner patterns, En Lappeløper by the Norwegian designer AnnAKa - I'd purchased this from Lapp-Elisa Quilts many years ago, and it's still one of my favourite tablerunner patterns...

...the batiks and linen work really well together. The applique flowers were machine appliqued at each end of the runner, using threads in matching colours. I used white Aurifil 40wt thread for the quilting, which I kept very simple. The dark green batik binding frames the runner nicely...

...the single-fold binding was hand stitched to the back of the table runner using ladder stitch, and I've added one of my Nicola Foreman Quilts labels, purchased from Woven Labels UK a few years ago. Now this tablerunner is finished, it can be wrapped and delivered to my sister-in-law.
