I don't usually make the same pattern more than once at a time, preferring to go on to other things or change it up in some way. It's true this time, too, mostly. Yes, this is 'Mandy' again - without any changes except thread color! - and this post is right after one where I talk about 'Mandy' in orange and brown. But I didn't tat them one after the other, I just finished sewing them to the table runners one after the other.

About the only things I sew are table runners, but I love shopping for material. I have quite the stash to prove it, too. I usually have at least a vague idea of what I would like to tat for each material when it's purchased whether I ever get to it or not. When I do get to making the edgings I try to match the pattern to the material as well as the thread. Sometimes this takes a while and sometimes everything just falls into place.

The edging for this runner kind of came as a surprise. I had another thread and another pattern in mind for it, this one was actually for something else. But when I laid this edging close to the material I couldn't believe how well the colors went together. Plans changed right away. In a good way!
This table runner is the same size as the other one, 12 inches by just over 40 inches. I don't know if you're into roosters or not, but this runner looks pretty good!
