Hearts and Flowers Table Runner

I made this table runner for my mom-in-law’s birthday. Unfortunately, I underestimated the amount of time and work required to make it and started working on it only about a month prior to her special day. What is more, she lives in Norway, and it takes at least a week for a package to travel from America to Europe. So the present was late, but you know how the saying goes: “Better late…”

The pattern (in a symbol chart format only) was from a UK website Coats Crafts. (Unfortunately the link to the pattern no longer works).

The colors in the original pattern were pink, brown, red, and beige. But I substituted brown and red with lilac and white to create a spring palette. 

And here is a picture that my mother-in-law sent me. I think the runner looks lovely on her dining table.
