And so it begins...

I have gotten a start on my giant tablerunner project and I certainly hope this is going to be the right thing for wedding reception tables--I have to keep reminding myself that people are not actually coming there to admire the tablerunners, they might just have their eyes on the beautiful bride instead! And the tablerunners are meant to be a backdrop for beautiful centerpieces, and it will probably be sort of dark, anyway, so dark brown thread on brown fabric is not going to be much of a standout! But I do think that if anyone is inclined to look beyond their dinner plate, I want them to have something pretty to look at! The fabric is very nice, the machine is running well, I have to tell myself to slow down because when I go too fast on those loops the thread gets stressed and frays, causing me to stop and start more than I want to when I am looking at yards and yards to go. It's really kind of fun, as I scroll out these loopy-loo's and curly-cue's.
