Above is a custom table runner I painted for a West Coast shop using a customer's Christmas Spode China to create a pattern complimenting the china...The customer mailed me a couple of pieces of the china , specified the size and canvas count and I supplied the sketch and off we went....the canvas was 13st and the size was approx. 14" x 50". The customer was pleased and I imagine when the Runner was finished and graced the first Christmas table along with the Spode China....It was festive. China is a very popular theme for such custom work.
This runner and a picture of a custom fishing boat are featured in the Current Issue Nov/Dec of Needlepoint Now , in an article on custom needlepoint .
Sadly custom work is not a topic explored in detail by the trade. Nice to see it in an article.
