Ruler Table Runner

Top photo is from my dining room.  Okay.  That is a lie.  The picture is from Country Living magazine, and if you Google Country Living Ruler Runner, you will find many links for instructions.  I decided to make a somewhat shorter version for my sewing room using a heavy canvas.  I used a permanent marker to make the lines and then a heat textile transfer paper for the numbers.  I pre-washed the canvas before starting and it really got very wrinkled, so it is a bit "weathered" looking.  I prefer to think it adds to the character.  How do you think it measures up to the original?   Jerilynn
