Table runner and sheep

So I am hopeful that there will be two postings this month even though we are fast approaching April. Egad.  It has been a busy month with visiting family and lots of pondering.  There are certain kinds of pondering that I dearly love, but sometimes it's just a big swamp.  Perhaps I won't say any more about that and instead show you the full view of the table runner that I made for my dear daughter-in-law's fortieth birthday last year.  A close up of one bird appears here.  Because the cloth is for the table, half of the birds are upside down so that the people on the other side of the table will see them right side up.  Was this a good idea?  Not sure.  Anyway, here are both views:

but that's all for now.  xoxo
