I made the red under-tablecloth and quilted placemats. The white tablecloth is one from my collection of vintage linen.
And this is what it looked like just before we ate Christmas dinner!

Who is this?
- PURLPOWER
- round, round, get around, I get around
- Originally from Derby (UK) I've been knitting obsessively for the past seven years, since I first fell ill with 'fibromyalgia'. The fibro has since been found to be a symptom of my having Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III (AKA, Hypermobility Syndrome). I currently live in Paisley, West Scotland. My other interests are quilting, vintage fabrics, sewing, writing, music, comedy, food, real-ale, politics & current affairs, gardening, travelling and poetry. Often I am too tired or sore to do anything, even think! However, I strongly believe that craft can be a force for good in the world hence PURLPOWER! P.S. If you leave me a question in a comments section I will usually reply in the same comments section

It looks lovely! I've never managed to have Christmas at my own house so quite jealous! Happy New Year :)
Wow you did create a beautiful table! I'm not sure which version of it I like best - the without-people shot shows the tablecloth off so well, but the family shot shows the true meaning of Christmas I think.
Looks Lovely H. I love lace cloths for the table... hope people are careful with the red wine on it :-0
Hope 2012 is a good year for you X
