Bench runner
We've had a colder than normal winter here this year. Our dining room table has 4 chairs & a bench & have some chair pads on the chairs but nothing on the bench. DH draped a quilt over the bench about 2 weeks ago so he didn't have to sit on the cold wooden bench. That got me to thinking.....we need a bench runner. So I measured the bench top, went to my stash & made a quilted bench runner. I made it from a whole piece of fabric (no blocks or design) & then put elastic on the back ends so it just slips over the edge of the bench on each end. It slipped around a bit when we sat on it so I just slipped a piece of that rubberized shelf lining between the runner & the bench & that held it down just great. Can't post a picture as my computer has been in the shop since the end of December & don't know how to post from DH's computer. The runner works great & I'm really happy with it. It's like a table runner only attaches with the elastic.
