My project to make<br />
PEACOCK TABLE LINEN<br />
This design was inspired by a holiday I took last year to<br />
Italy, to an island in the middle of Lago Maggiore. There<br />
is a 16th century villa on the island, which is mainly filled<br />
with a botanical garden full of lush plants of all shapes<br />
and colours. There are also white and turquoise peacocks<br />
wandering around, and ponds full of huge lily pads<br />
and flowers.<br />
Each corner of the table runner features a different<br />
decorative pattern that I hope captures something of the<br />
delightful atmosphere of the villa. I really enjoyed thinking<br />
about a design which could be split into a few different<br />
pieces to spread around the runner and napkins, but<br />
which would also work together as a whole.<br />
I love to use Anchor’s Stranded Cotton threads – the<br />
colours are lovely and it is easy to work with.<br />
