Finished at last!

This morning I put the last stitch onto my runners and installed them onto the stairs in my dollhouse.  It is so satisfying to see these runners finally in place!  I secured them to the stairs by putting double sided acid-free tape onto each riser and carefully placing them on, one stair at a time.  Once I had them in place to my satisfaction, I cut some very thin brass rods to length and placed a small gold bead on each end of the rods.  A tiny bit of glue to each bead secures them to the wood of the staircase.  Below is a more frontal shot of the staircase with the brass rods in place.

This has been a fun project for me, but I am more than ready to start my next one!  Stitching the same pattern over and over became quite tedious towards the end.  However, I feel the effort was worth it. 🙂   Stay tuned to see what I start next.  I already have the fabric cut and stretched onto the frame, he, he!
