DUSTY PINK VINTAGE PLACEMATS N RUNNER







A set of place mats and coasters of different sizes...I found this beautiful vintage fabric at a store here in Oman..Its dusty pink in colour with antique gold design that appears like some script...The puddings n pies designs are placed at equal distance from each other, that enabled me to cut out small patches for the coasters...For the runner I haven't used batting, but interfacing to make it stiff..So also the placemats..The coasters are given a li'l cushion effect by sandwiching with cotton batting...Before joining the front piece to the backing I did some back stitch along the outer edges of the puddings..A li'l bit of lazy daizy n tiny bullions were also embroidered over some minute details in the design... The runner is as long as my dining table, with tassels on both ends.
