Scrappy Batik table runner

This is a narrow batik runner that I made to fit the bar Builder Bob made in the basement.

Furniture DIY

This was actually a top corner cabinet and book shelves that matched the cabinets he put in my quilt room. If you missed that post you can see it here. I ran out of space there and we didn’t want to get rid of them so he cut down the height of the book shelves; attached it to the corner cabinet and then built a top for it.

Now we have a liquor cabinet and a place for his CD’s. It also nicely filled up this space. We call the deer Bambi and bought it at a Ducks Unlimited auction a couple years ago.

Green Batik table runner

The runner is only 9 inch wide and 31 inches long. Very simple, I just cut 2 1/2 inch strips of batiks 9 inches long and sewed them together until I got a length I liked. I then added a backing and warm & natural batting. I did the free motion wiggle on my 15-91 Singer. Nothing like a fast & easy project to make sure everything is working fine on my sewing machine!

    I made several scarves like that at Christmas. Put flannel on the back for warmth. I'm going to put together one from my batik stash.

That or I'll just buy some batiks at the Black Bear Trading Post when I go camping this weekend 🙂 I need to buy *something,* right?!
