Domestic Diva Table Runner

I saw this table runner at Pleasant Home almost two years ago.  I thought it was so cute, with those vintage ladies completing domestic engineering tasks.  Jodi from Pleasant Home also provided the tutorial for the two pinwheel baby quilts that I made.

I really wanted to make the table runner, so I went online and bought the fabric.  I finally got around to making it.

I cut each of the divas out by "fussy cutting".  That is a fancy way of saying, "cut out the lady and waste the fabric".  Ha ha!!

I paired up the divas with the fabrics I chose to compliment them.

I added the red polka dot fabric, I wanted some of the domestic divas to "pop".

Jodi's table runner is 72" long.  I was planning to put mine on my long black dining room table.  At the last minute, I made it to fit my square kitchen table, so I configured the quilt blocks differently.

The table runner isn't quilted yet, but this is how it looks with a pot of red geraniums.

How about my blue ceramic berry container with beaded strawberries?

Or even a bowl of lemon slices.

Which centerpiece do you like the best?
