A post wedding present

It's been a while since I posted something. I was in vacation in Europe (but about it I will have another post some other time). Then I was busy with studying, organizing, cleaning the new apartment that I moved in, and of course doing crafts. Now that I am less busy I promissed myself I will post every week. I will try to do it every Tuesday. So this will be our meeting time every week :)

In June I was in California to celebrate the wedding of a very wonderful couple, two ex- Marines. They had a very simple, fun and perfect wedding. After the wedding the bride had some left over fabric and ribbons that she gave me knowing I like to get crafty. 

After I gave it some thought I decided to make a table runner for the couple's new apartment. It took me an entire day but I am happy with the result. 

I took 2 pieces of fabric each about 12 by 36 inches. 

 

 I connected the two pieces of fabric with ribbon that is 1.5 inch from which I made this beautiful chain flowers (I think it's called "ribbon trim").

Then I finished the edges with the 1/2 inch ribbon. the final result can be seen above.

And  voilà

I am happy with the result. Not sure this picture is a great one to show the result but this was the best place with a good light in my house. 

Cheers, 

Get busy get crafty :-)
