A visit to my parent's house for lunch last week was a lovely surprise. Mum and dad had decided to do Christmas in July complete with all the trimmings. Needless to say that the kitchen was closed for dinner that night.
I had just finished off the table topper below for mum and had taken it with me so I was able give it to her. It made the day more festive being able to give a small gift in return for a lovely lunch.
I always seem to find something else that I "may" need in my stash.
Sometimes it is good to step out of one's comfort zone from time to time and that is what I did with the table runner below. I am not a fan of orange especially with pink but it somehow seems to works with this. I wanted a bright and fun runner for summer.
In the meantime happy sewing.

The table topper, and the table runner, are both lovely. Like you I am not particularly keen on pink and orange, but that certainly works to great effect:)
