    I haven't made any yet, but I think I will. They not only protect the table, but they catch the dust! And I hate dusting.

    If I had a nice big house I would make them too. I just can't see them in my 4 rooms downstairs house,you know my kitchen/laundry room combo is already cluttered.lol I do see many beautiful ones and would like to make them as a quick project but have no room,after all I am always folding laundry on my table lololololol

    I buy them on here from other members just so I have something made by them and I make my own and for gifts too. I use them everywhere.....And I swithc them out all the time. Love the looks on my dining room table and the kudos I get from visiting friends. Can't have enough.

    I have one on top of my dryer. I find it stays cleaner that way and I can still put things on it. Give it a try!

    Runners are not only fun to make, but look so nice on tables or stands. They also make quick gifts.

    I decorate very modern/minimalistic. I don't do table runners either.

    Sometimes its just a good way to get a bit more color into the room... and cheaper than flowers.
    Or its like a really big coaster on a coffee table.

    I just made a very pretty spring color one from the 10 minute TableRunner pattern. I use two long ones instead of place mats for the table sides. I stagger two lengthwise on my table for a more formal look. I use a runner on my kitchen counter top. They are easy to toss in the laundry and when I get tired of them I don't mind cutting them up and making potholders or other projects. I use a variety of special fabrics I find on sale to make super nice table runners to put on banquet tables. It's amazing how one small detail makes a big difference in the look of pot luck tables.
