Runner Embroidery

Woohoo!  I've kept up with a daily post for a whole week now!  Which was not actually a New Year's resolution (that was to stop reading the news, because it only sent me into depressive cycles), but is still a good habit to keep up.

Here's the table runner I've started working on:

It's a WonderArt Creative Needlecrafts kit.  It did not come with the embroidery floss, and since dusty rose isn't really my color scheme, I pulled out a deep blue and a turquoise to embroider it in instead.  It's a poly/cotton fabric, and a really tight weave.

Here's as far as one working length of floss gets me.  The stamping is fairly light, so I have to have good light to work on it.
