    I love making tablerunners. They will fit in so many places, not just the dining room table, plus changing them out frequently gives the room a totallly different look.

    Here are two I made using the 10 min. pattern. They can be fancied up as much as you like. They look much better in real settings.

    I've only made a couple, but I don't use them on the table. I hung them on the wall of my computer room, along with some other wallhangings I've made.

    I think I am the only one who doesn't use table runners on my table. I place one on my coffee table in the living room as I have a DS who likes to put his feet on the coffee table. I sometimes place one on the hearth in from of the fire place too. It just looks nice there.

    I use some on the table, some on the island in my kitchen and some I hang on the wall.

    Tablerunners are fun to make and are terrific for a dining room, breakfast table or for special gifts! They are also a great way to learn any special techniques in sewing :)

    make them for myself and my family. we all use them regularly. I change mine out for differnt seasons. cheap way to have a fresh look every few months. definitely not a useless project.

    I have made a couple, but don;t use them. Mainly because Her Royal Highness, the Princess, thinks they're her nap mats! The other reason is that we don't use our dining room table for eating anymore. Have a table in kitchen also, but usually eat in living room with the TV on.
