Day of the Dead Ofrenda Runner


I saw cute skull planters containing succulents for Day of the Dead at Trader Joe’s. They were so cute I had to buy a few. I came home and in my e-mail was a video from Misty at MSQC about a cute one day project for an ofrenda table runner. Ha! The one day project was 4 good days of work. But the result was cute.

I tried a flange binding for the first time, with acceptable but not great results. I’ll try again.
