Tutorial: Table runner trivet

Big family meals like Thanksgiving Ren from The Inspired Wren shares a tutorial showing how to make her Table Running Trivet. It’s a table runner that’s also a trivet. It’s a more efficient use of tabletop space than a collection of individual trivets. And it looks much nicer than the hodge podge of different shapes and styles of trivets that happens when you’re digging deep to find enough trivets for all of your Thanksgiving dishes.
