Pat's Vintage Table Runner

 One of the things I love about

interacting with

Pat Roche

is seeing her vision

of mixing vintage

with modern

in quilting.

Pat's latest creation incorporates

three 

embroidered vintage hankies

that have been beautifully quilted

to the top of a

linen table runner.

 There is not a lot of contrast

between the white hankies and

white background,

but if you look closely

you can see three separate sections.

 In the center of each hankie there

is a beautiful motif of a bird

in flight

surrounded by flowers.

 Upclose

you can see the beautiful detailing

of stitches

that attach the

hankies to the base.

For my small part, I sewed the binding

around the outer edge.
