Christmas, sorry to mention it so early

The family are all coming here for Christmas Day, so I decided to make a new table runner and nine new place mats.

All the fabric is out of the cupboard, which hardly looks any emptier, but I guess the stash is going down!

I did have to order more Insul-bright, the heat resistant wadding as I had run out.

I have been wanted to make a French Braid, so chose this for the main area of the runner and mats.

Even the binding is sewn down!

Place mat number one of nine I intend to make.
