| Red ginkgo leaf on table runner by Ann Fahl (c) 2011 |
Right now, I'm developing a new pattern for a table runner. This is my first attempt to design a smaller project that a beginner might choose. The runner has just 7 large Ginkgo leaves going down the center, with a few smaller leaves sprinkled in. You can machine applique the leaves or use free-motion embroidery to hold them in place. Eventually this pattern will be available on patternspot.com

I completed the embroidery yesterday. Now I've been embroidering for years but the effects that variegated thread has on a project never ceases to amaze me. How can you not love this red variegated thread on red fabric?

Try a beautiful polyester or rayon variegated thread in your next project. It adds a dimension that solid color threads do not.
If you are wondering which thread this is, it is Superior Threads Rainbow #832.
