I have a set of these Westalee Heart rulers I have been wanting to play with and no enough time so I thought I would make a little runner for myself. I spend a lot of time of stuff for other people but not for me.I thought I would send some hearts my way.

I kept it simply as I have been very busy.

I spray basted my three layers together and used the lines on the fabric to set my template on.

The hearts are very effective. and a easy template to use. I can see myself getting distracted by reading the sayings on this side. Wait there is more on the other side too.

I needed some funky binding for my project.

In hindsight I could have made my runner slightly wider but my machine does fit and at least this way not wider enough for a cat to come and sit on it.

There is enough runner for my sewing essentials and my Summer project blocks to sit on and hopefully they will not find the floor as easy as sitting straight on the table.
