Yay! It's finished! Back in January I posted twice about the Poppy Table Runner that I had simmering away in my stash of projects. I initially wrote about it as my first item for the Book It Challenge that I decided to take part in.
To say the applique stitching on this table runner was demanding, would be an understatement - it was slow with all the little points and curves, then I got onto to the miniature blue flowers, oh my goodness, I am sure that they bred and multiplied while I was stitching them down - they never seemed to end!

And, finally, here it is - all 162.5cm x 39.3cm (64in x 15.5in) in stunning glory. I have re-named Poppy to be Christmas Dining because it shall grace the centre of my Christmas table this year.
