Handmade Christmas - Day 4

My dear friend Elise once made me a table runner for Christmas. It is red and green and comes to a triangular point at the ends and has little bells that dangle from little ribbons. I've treasured it for many years as it finds its spot on top of an old chest that we have each year at the holidays. It really is stunning! So when I thought about what to make for my Aunt and Uncle, I knew they'd very much appreciate one!



This one is very different than the one my friend made for me. The color scheme seems appropriate for all of winter's woes, and not just Christmas. I also used a classic chevron pattern to create the depth and design of this runner!



I'm excited to go visit in the coming months to find this adorning their coffee table. I'm sure it will look just as good there as it does on our own! Perhaps this should be on my agenda for home now that the holidays have calmed down a bit!
