These runners would make nice Wedding Shower gifts for the New Bride to be... many times newly weds don't have any Seasonal decorations that can be really used and even better yet Hand made with Love from a Special Aunt or Grandma... or Friend.

I do make table runners in Christmas fabric for gifts, but I also like to back them with fabric that can be used for another holiday and/or something that could be used year round. I've also made table runners using snowmen fabric or winter inspired fabric - that way it can be used until spring, and then with a backing of springtime fabric, so it can be used longer.

I am wanting to make a couple of table runners for Christmas gifts for an Aunt and a neighbor. Would you make it in Christmas fabric (thinking that Christmas would already be over when they opened their gift) or would you make something that could be used year round??????
I know this is a personal preference~ I just want to see how many of you tend to go each way!
Thanks

I think something that can be used year round is nicer - that is just my own opinion - however I love Christmas and all the decorating - but I only use my "Christmas" stuff during that time - it would be nice to get a gift that can be used other times.

I'm also going to make some runners for Christmas and had the same question........these are such good ideas.
I like the reversible one the best. So I better get cracking.......I have 4 grown children and have just finished
making them 2 sets of pillow cases each. All from my stash! Now for the runners.
