Easter table runner

I had been looking for a pretty white table runner for a while now, but all the ones I found were out of my budget. Instead, I bought a plain linen one and hand stitched broderie anglaise down each side using embroidery threads. To finish off, I threaded some of my leftover ribbon from the felt birds through the broderie anglaise trim on each side. Now I have a table runner that matches the rest of my Easter decorations!

I matched the felt swatches with cotton embroidery threads from Anchor. From left to right:

Pale mint colour (no.158)
Pale lilac colour (no.108)
Pale green colour (no.259)
Pale dusky pink colour (no.36)

The flower is from John Lewis, and the beads and sequins we already had.
