Welcome to Monday Number 24. Wow the year is just flying by.This week I am very happy that I have finished my "Peace" table runner. Designed and stitched with love by me.
The final measurements for the table runner are 19.5inches wide and it is 41 inches in length.
I fell in love with the material that has the little peace doves on it. I decided to embroider the word peace in different languages. The block above has Pax which is Latin and Paz which is Spanish.
This block has peace in English and pace which is Italian.
The final block has vrede which is peace in Dutch. Damai is peace in Indonesian. Our children learnt Indonesian at school as there second language. They can still remember quite a bit of Indonesian. I am pleased that I have used up a fair amount of the half metre of fabric I purchased on impulse last week. Now if only I can get the rest of the stash down as fast. So I hope everyone who visits my blog leaves with some peace in there heart and spreads the peace around the world.Peace.

Your runner is just beautiful I do love the doves..
That's a beautiful runner. I love the pretty blue fabric and think you are very good buying and using a piece of fabric so quickly. Well done! At least I have used the piece that had been gathering dust now. Languages are good fun and it's lovely that you have used several in your runner.
Oh I love it! The idea to stitch "peace" in different languages is a wonderful idea. It's beautiful. Happy Monday to you! Paula
This is just gorgeous Bev. Well done - it's beautiful.

Hi Bev, I love your runner, the blue is real nice. I wonder if you can get your stash down that fast?? Kind regards, Anita.
Your beautiful thoughts of "Peace" have made it all the way to Michigan, USA. Thanks for the thoughtful post, Bev.
Lovely table runner Bev and what a great theme for the runner. Like the idea of Peace in different languages.

The blue fabric is just lovely. Your table runner looks great. Cheers, Christine
Ahh, I told Chris you were teasing when you showed vrede and damai last tweek! That's a lovely idea to put "peace" in different languages. The colours certainly make the runner very peaceful to look at.
Thank you for 'dropping in for a cuppa' and saying hello. You have a lovely blog here...and peace to you also!
Wow! I love how the little birds come back in the fabric. And such a peaceful piece of work!
