And a cushion for luck

I finished the bed runner and thought it looked a bit strange on its own, so I whipped up a little cushion to go with it with the scraps and bits left over.

Nearly there!

Ok my last post was in draft for two weeks after being on holiday for my grandads/husbands big birthdays - born exactly 50 years apart in the same day.
But I finally sat down to the runner again this weekend after really missing it.

Its looking pretty!

I finished the top of the runner yesterday, hibernating in my sewing (spare) room most of last Saturday afternoon and evening, but I'm really proud of how it turned out in the end :)I added some trimmed grey bias tape as flat piped edging (thanks to this great video tutorial)

The piping was re-ironed pre made bias tape and I sewed it using the needle slightly right to centre to minimise the seams & it worked really well I think.
