It looks like an ordinary little table runner, doesn’t it?

But this one’s got a little something extra going on inside — instead of just regular quilt batting, it also uses heat resistant Insul-Bright.

So this quirky little table runner functions as one large trivet, big enough to hold a 9″x13″ dish and a smaller bowl.  Or a thirsty little bird.  (I kind of like the way the back shows off the quilted grid pattern.)
