Pomegranate Table Runner

I've been trying to finish up on some Christmas presents.

I haven't worked with wool for the longest time, and it was so nice to be back with a needle and thread.

I thought it was only fitting I work on a project that has pomegranates. I even made another batch of pomegranate jelly last night.

I love the texture and variety of working with hand dyed wools.


The pattern is called "Antique Pomegranates" by Ginger Sanchez Designs

    Working with hand dyed wools is always a joy. It's like sewing thru butter! Your work is beautiful.

    Your wool pomegranate table runner is beautiful. I also love working on wool hand projects. I have made several pillow tops while recovering from surgery followed by viral pneumonia. The pics are on my blog, take a look. I will make them into pillows after I am well enough to sew. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

    Your runner is lovely...some day I might get into wools.
    I like the fact that they don't ravel without a turned edge!

    Beautiful wool work. Someday I'll work with wool more. I've never had pomegranate jelly. I think I told you that last year. Maybe I'll ask to taste it when we get together this spring.
