Table Runners

I have made 2 table runners with the same color combination for the ribbons.Somehow, the design arrangement/placement on one runner is different from the other.The design and ribbon colors are adapted from one of the 'famous' Royal Albert collection-upon a special request from my customer......

Design 1-with trailing rosebuds in between

The tassels are also stitched with folded ribbons of the same colors-maroon/yellow

Design 2- same color combination with a slight difference in the design .

More table runners in'the making' at the moment and as soon as they are ready, I'll put the pictures in here....
Have a nice weekend and happy viewing,everyone!

closed-up of the design on the cover

The box-all covered with soft bright pink velvet,just hope it will brighten up the owner's face when she receive this !

2)Maroon Velvet Heart Box- same size as the one above.

I added small pink folded roses instead of the regular daisy like flowers , with a darker shade of larger roses in the center

The bottom part of the box- big enough to stuff in your precious jewelleries!

Latest cushions

Hi everyone!
I haven't been doing many cushions lately. The pair of cushions below have been ordered specially for our 'first lady'.

The fabric is from silk and I really hope that she will like my choice of the overall color combination .

Design on one cushion is a mirror image of the other

CUSHION DESIGN 2
soft pastel colors(my favourite choice of colors, actually)
This cushion is for 'someone special' on a coming event next weekend.I cannot decide which to give her;design 2 or design 3 below.What do you girls think?2 or 3?

CUSHION DESIGN 3
Colors are more vibrant.Looks brighter and more cheerful, isn't it?

Hopefully, I'll be doing more cushions later on.At the moment, my hands are full with other orders.ANYBODY WILLING TO HELP ME OUT?hehe
