My first attempt at McTavishing

This is a lovely piece of fabric I purchased in Sydney - I decided to try my hand at McTavishing as I had not done it before. I also received Karen McTavishe's reprint of her book Whitework Quilting - so I have been drooling over that all morning (yes Pat you can have your copy back -ta)



So this is a table runner and as it was on the machine my brother claimed it for his own - said he loved it and would probably hang it up.
