Self portrait table runner

This is a table runner I made in 1990 when I first learned how to quilt.
As you can see the stitching goes all the way thru...no surface work
here. The hair style if you could see it is supposed to be a feathered
flip...which is how I used to wear it back them. The fruit baskets and
the frame around the portrait was my first endeavor using stencils, and
the edging was a folded picot treatment I learned in a Fons and Porter
book.

Then I spilled coffee on it...put it in the laundry...and it went the
way of socks....found the portal to another dimension and was not seen
from until about a week ago. Found it in the bottom of a pile of clothes
that were gonna be given away...I don't think so...it's back...I'm gonna
use it. As a work surface for my jewelry creations. Regular stain
removal methods are not having any effect. Bleaching or dying may be a
last resort...but I'm not really worried about that...I'm just happy to
have it back.
