Prodigal Fabric

'Twas Lost But Now is Found

Several years ago I took a class for a QAYG "braid" table runner. Soon after that I taught my fellow guild members how to make one. Then I made a few as Christmas gifts. But one could not be finished because I somehow ran short of the border fabric with three short lengths left to add.



That runner remained folded in a pile on my work table (along with a number of other abandoned projects) in the intervening years.

Fast forward to the recent BRP (Big Reorganization Project).  And what should appear out of my heaps of scraps but a small chunk of the long sought-after red fabric with a couple of border strips folded up inside it!

Having grabbed the runner and the missing fabric on my way out the door to retreat this week, I was able to get the runner to this point:

Nearly finished table runner.

 

Unfortunately, there was not enough of the red fabric to do the binding. If I can't find a similar shade of red in my stash I will probably go with one of the blues.

It is such a relief to have another UFO, however small, nearing completion!
