When a table runner becomes a wall hanging…
A few weeks back I took another fabulous class at The Fiber Studio on making felted table runners (oh crap, Pam just posted the summer class schedule…brb). As I was laying out my first layer of merino and trying to figure out how I would ever be able to keep a felted table runner kitty hair-free, a thought came to me – what about that giant blank wall hanging out over my newly repositioned couch? Voilà! My runner had just turned into a wall hanging.
I used eight colors of merino, two silk hankies and over seven hours of hard labor (which required at least 4 Advils) to make this guy, but he was totally worth it!
Once home, I decided to add a little more textural interest by sewing on some fabric beads I had made a few years back. I didn’t want the beads to take away from the overall feel of the piece, so I tried to position them to blend in as much as possible with the background colors.
I absolutely love the way it turned out. Finally my living room has a bit more color!
