For some feathered dimension!! A Drunkard’s Path variation once again only in a smaller application (see this post for larger version). This table runner will be 14”x28” and is another quick project (“instant” gratification?). and a back view with some … Continue reading →

Part 7: A Glimpse of the “finish line”…….

Posted on August 17, 2020 by treadlemusic
