Hexagon Table Runner

K gave me these hexagons that came from a garage sale.
Some of them were already sewn together and I decided to make a quilted table runner in this odd shape.  
The hexagons are hand-sewn, the backing hand-sewn on, and the runner is quilted by machine. 
I gave it to Rok for her birthday this year, 2010, it really suits her depression-era G-Grandad's hand-made table.

Chel Curtain Caftan 1974

I made this caftan out of an old bedspread or curtains in 1974. 
Probably drafted from an Enid Gilchrist pattern book.
