What do you do in a waiting room? From what I have seen the last several years, most people read, talk to other people waiting, watch T.V., or knit. I've done my share of reading. I mostly do a lot of handwork. This summer, just before Father's Day I started on a table runner. When I knew I would be hours in hospital waiting rooms and doctors offices, I grabbed the project, thankful that I had something started. I finally finished. I kind of like it on the back of the couch (the couch is another story and soon to be recovered).
The base fabric is natural linen. Old washed wool scraps were appliqued on in an overhand stitch.
Bound in homespun cotton. Here and there some embroidery stitches are worked into the design.
A reminder of warm summer days.

I love all your creations! This looks great over the couch. It is nice that you can move it around to different places in the house. Beautiful work.

You've done a fantastic job on the runner. Beautiful, and worth the wait in some sense!!
Thank you Denise and Christine. I love that sort of handwork. I try to have something to pick up and work on. It is relaxing for me.
