Poinsettia table runner. I know this will last a lot longer than my poinsettia plants - I've killed two already this year! The central design is by Urban Threads and the rest is strip and flip (very badly I'm afraid.) I decided to use different width strips, but unfortunately there wasn't a big enough difference to make it look deliberate.

Looks beautiful and may be, you are right, you will have it many more years as a poinsettia plant. (I have a blooming one the third year with more than 30 flowers)

Very lovely, Sue. DH, as a pastor was in charge of 100 plus poinsettias most years for the altar. He says there are two keys: they don't like drafts and they prefer a light, frequent (daily) watering. Good luck.

Sue, that is a beautiful table runner. I killed my last poinsettia. The embroidery lasts a bit better. :-)
