Cafe Au Lait - Part 2

The restaurant was fairly busy today, but spotty - meaning I was able to steal a few moments here and there to do some of the running stitches on the quiltlet. I'm happy with the outcome so far, but I need to get a couple more elements added. One is some coffee beans - I'm not sure how I'll accomplish that. I did think of using real beans, but only for a moment.

I have to say that I've been working with ArtFabrik perle cotton 12 for a long time and I absolutely love it. I needed white thread for the running stitch, and was happy to find some Caron Wildflowers (perle cotton 12) in opal. I wasn't happy, however, with the thread itself. It seemed much more fragile and not as smooth. I guess I need to order some Shadows from Laura!
