Rail Fence Table Runner and Hot Pad

This cute holiday table runner was made by Tanya, meaning that she pieced it and then quilted it.  She has plenty of times talked about her binding fairy that she has.  Well for this table runner and hot pad she was happy to have the Binding Fairy do all the binding.  It is very interesting.  Just like the Tooth Fairy, all you have to do is put it under your pillow (OK, my sewing table) and the next morning it is done.

This cute table runner was made for one of our Secret Santa Family's this past Christmas.  It was a fun gift for us to give on our final day.  Our Secret Santa family's we give 12 gifts for the 12 days leading up to Christmas.  We are sneaky and stealthy (or try to be) on the first 11 days.  But on the 12th day our family delivers the last gift and lets the family know how much our family loves them.  Each year we pick out 3 family's and this is not a just 12 day thing.  The day after Christmas we start looking for gifts.  We hit all those after Christmas sales and get bargain items.  My kids have more fun doing this then opening their own Christmas each year.
