Summer fragments

As we are settling into a gray and rainy Vancouver winter it is nice to remember the sunshine and the colours of the past seasons.

Last summer I made a few dresses and blouses for Anouk in bright and cheerful colours. So, I decided to take those fabrics and sew them into a table runner. Little pieces of summer with light gray fabric. The pattern was inspired by the "Little Bits" quilt.

The table runner is on its way to Germany for my mom who is turning 65 tomorrow and who spent the summer with us. I hope she will remember the days and the sunshine with a smile when she puts this table runner on the table. Happy birthday Mama!

Here are the summer moments with the fabrics in the table runner.

The ocean and the beach leave so many inspiring patterns and textures around us. Here is a selection of shapes and reflections that inspired the quilting:

And here is the table runner:

Happy birthday!

65!

Love from all of us.
