My friend, Patty, picked up some drapery sample books that she found set out with the trash. Some of the fabrics are really nice, but they are backed with heavy paper. I chose a collection of fabrics that went together and cut them into rectangles. I then attached the rectangles to a base fabric with one of my favorite tools - Elmer's glue. I chose a contrasting cotton fabric to outline the drapery fabric and bind the table runner. There is no batting and no quilting.
I like the contrast of silk materials with the other heavier, textured fabrics.
I made another card using kraft paper (really a grocery bag) as a base. This one is based on something I saw in a magazine where someone used a button card to create a building. Of course I had a stray button card around!!
Have a good day. Nancy
