I put small ones on my end tables. I also have one on my piano, the credenza and some other things. I use one on the table occasionally. If I had a dinning room table I would have one on there all the time.

Rainy Day

On my dressing table and my hall/sofa table - I like to show it off as I made the hall table, and a runner sets it off beautifully.

i use them all the time, on coffee table, end tables, on an island; i have a small round one in the center of the kitchen table that i put salt & pepper/oil & vinegar bottles on. I use placemats and linen napkins too...every day not just for holidays.
now the funny part...none of them i use i've made; they were all from swaps or gifts. i never make stuff like that for us (hubby sure thinks i should) so in order to have them to use i have to sign up for swaps/exchanges and hope for new ones as gifts...I am terrible about getting sewing done for us...we are always last; i made something like 150 quilts before i ever made one for my bed...
everytime i get a table runner made, or new set of placemats there is always someone standing in line waiting for "theirs"...a couple of the little quilts i've received from the doll quilt swap have become 'table-mats' too :)

Make end table runners!

I haven't made a table runner but I do use something like an extra placemat on the center of my table for things that stay on the table...s/p, candle, flowers. I also use placemats all the time...we have a wood table.

Nope, don't use them, don't like them, never have, never will. I use reed placemats, but none of that other stuff. They are dust magnets and would probably encourage my cats to lie on the table thinking they were little quilts made just for them. Besides, they remind me of antimacassars (those chair doilies grandmothers used to use everywhere).

I use them all the time and have given a lot as gifts. There was a suggestion here sometime ago to make them reversible (like Christmas on the front, Halloween on the back). I haven't done that yet (I'm not that clever) but it sounds like a good idea--you wouldn't have to put it away and get another one out.

Candace-I swish my table runner around on the coffee table and that is my "dusting" for the day LOL!

With an antique dining table NO I don't. I have to use the heavy custom made pads, a heavy plastic covering and then a regular table cloth. Otherwise my family would set wet glasses, hot pans, etc. on my table. I have used them on the buffet, as dresser scarves, and small ones on occasional tables but never on my dining room table. I did when I was single though.

I just use table runners, doilies and other things to decorate for the holidays.

I do enjoy tablerunners, and want to make more to go with each holiday or season.

Is there a great source for table runners or do you just make a few blocks w a border?
