Zig-zag Table Runner

I came across a pattern that I thought would compliment my Rail Fence chair pads and placemats. There's minimal piecing to do but the resulting interconnected look of the pattern appears quite intricate. A simple gridline machine stitching and a narrow binding makes quick work of finishing the runner. It's a project that can easily be completed in an afternoon.
I like that kind of project!

Rail Fence chair pads and placemats

 For years, place mats and chair pads such as these were being churned out of my sewing room on a daily basis.  While local stores were the primary destination for them, I also sold many sets online through eBay. But the gradual but consistent climb in postage rates put an end to that! So now, while I still make these for craft sales and have one local outlet, these items are only made now and again. Browns and tans seem to be the most popular colour choice.

Sewing Accessories

I really need to get my sewing area cleaned up and organized! I'm working on it....well I'm working on the organizers, thread catcher bags and pin cushions.....
