Northern Cardinal Runner from Lil' Twister Leftovers

Pin It

I used the leftovers from my Northern Cardinal charm pack that I used here on my Mini Twister to make this small 15 x 20 inch table runner.

I trimmed my twister pieces to 1.5 inch squares - put 4 together and then added my 1.5 x 3.5 inch pieces on 2 sides and then trimmed them. Then I added a 1.5 x 5inch strip on the other 2 sides. To make this work I sewed a 1/8th inch seam.

Then I added some of the 5" charm blocks. I used a scant 1/4th inch seam.

I  dug around in my stash and found a burgundy fabric that worked perfectly for my binding.

Back side - I just used some fabric from my "old" stash.

I still have some leftovers! Maybe a mug rug.

 I have to say these are difficult colors for me to photograph!

 I took this photo in our garage where we  have our wood stacked.

This is what Builder Bob and my brother have been working on lately. I helped stack today and am I sore! My brother started heating with wood last winter so now we cut twice as much but luckily the weather has been good and by tomorrow evening we should both be set for winter. I get to stay home and play with grandchildren tomorrow - much more fun.

Now I'll schedule this to post in the morning and I'll add wood to the wood stove as it is getting chilly and then head to bed. This is the last day for my giveaway that started on Monday - link is at the top of the page.
