    Thank you all so very much. It was a really fast finish compared to other runners I have made. But, like I said this is what she wanted. There was no name on the batik (front fabric), the backing fabric I bought at Hancock Fabrics in sparks, nevada some time ago. and the binding is a lovely marbled brown I had left over from a fall bargello quilt. The backing fabric was so nice I bought more than I needed thinking that it would be nice as a summer tote bag. I originally got it to make myself placemats for my breakfast bar that you see here.

    I will give it to her next time I see her. I don't like going over to her house. Too many people I don't know.

    Please? and Thanks!
    Like I mentioned, there was no name on the fabric, but, you might try Hancock's of Paducah on line. They have tons of nice batiks.

    That is a beautiful runner, both sides. Sometimes simple is best, let the fabric do the work! And a great trade, something she wanted for something you love. Good all around, if you ask me!

    I love the idea of using two different seasons on one runner ! Can't decide which one I like best...both are wonderful !

    I like that you let the fabrics be the stars of the show.

    They are lovely.

    Actually I like the simplicity of this runner. The fabrics on both sides are lovely enough to stand alone.

    Thanks ... The batiks I am used to never seem to have info on the selvage. You just go with what is on the bolt ends. I'll take a look at Hancock's site, and see if I can find it.

    Or if anyone else happens to know???
    Please do tell!
