A friend of mine from Saudi Arabia came to visit. This is the table runner and calendar holder I made for her. Now I need to get back to finishing the baby blanket that I have started. (Baby is due this month!)

Thanks for looking!

That is a amazing table runner. I love the design. It is so typical middle eastern. I am sure she was delighted to get this gift. Better get going on that baby blanket. A month goes by so fast. :-)

They are absolutely gorgeous. I am sure your friend will love and treasure both pieces.
Is the runner a Judy Neimyer Pattern?

I have seen this table runner pattern , it looks fantastic, The calendar holder , is it a panel or steam-a-seam? I always enjoy looking at what you have been up to. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for yr kind words!
The owl on the calendar holder was a panel and then I just built it up around the pic til I had the desired length and width to fit the calendar.

Clinking on the photo really helps to bring out your stitching in your table runner and it is beautiful! Your friend is going to be so pleased with your generous gifts. I think I also saw a little piece of your baby quilt on your design wall behind the table runner and I am looking forward to seeing how it comes together. Thank you so much for posting and letting us admire your work. Stunning work!
