Peacock table runner<br />
& napkins<br />
Cathy Eliot<br />
This pattern is for a table runner and two napkins, but you can use any of the individual five<br />
designs in any combination you like. It could be lovely, for example, to do a set of napkins<br />
just playing around with the fern motif. Draw a design on each corner of the runner and<br />
napkins. The napkins here are simplified versions of the runner designs.<br />
tip<br />
You can do a lot of designs with<br />
very few stitches. For a long time<br />
I used just stem stitch and<br />
satin stitch for my pieces.<br />
