Size approx. 128 x 30 cm.
Embroidered on linen (8 threads/cm) with 3 partial threads in the needle.
Full cross stitches and back-stitches are used for the motifs. Contour stitches are used for the stripes in the background.
Use black thread to divide the fabric into 12 transverse fields. Mark where each motif should be placed.
Divide the yarn into cold and warm colors. The largest remainder is used for the motifs.
Embroider motifs from the center and out. This makes it easy to check that the pattern always fits.
For the background, distribute the warm colors in every other field. Then fill in the rest of the fields with the cold colors.

This table runner can be made with any DMC remains you have lying around. It is embroidered on linen canvas (8 threads/cm) with contour stitches.
Dimensions approx. 22 x 130 cm.
First, the canvas is divided into 2 x 12 fields with 3 threads as spaces.
Then, the threads are divided into yellow-green and blue-green shades.
Begin by making a random “path” using a golden thread. The path is made using contour stitches.
After this, the DMC remains are distributed in the 24 fields. Start with the yellow-green fields.
The runner is embroidered with contour stitches on 8 threaded linen canvas.
Three DMC threads are used in the needle. Small pieces of silver string are sprinkled throughout, and stapled with flora-cotton 136.
Approx. 12 yarn colors are used to form the stripes.
Finished dimensions: 130 x 29 cm.
Use the idea to inspire your own work!
With somewhat impaired, gray and colorless vision, I still got an embroidery put together. Drew an outline using a template with ballpoint pen directly on linen canvas (8 threads per. cm). Next, I could make a frame with cross stitches in double thread. I filled the frames with single thread cross stitches. My son helped me choose the colors of the yarn. He was good at interpreting my ideas and we got the right yarn numbers put together (thanks for the help!). So it became a “winter of embroidery” anyway 🙂
This runner is made with cross stitches, half stitches and contour stitches on linen (10 threads per centimeter). Made with flora cotton thread (fru zippe). Finishes size about 110 x 25 cm.
