Well,you know I make and use them a lot.Quick way to change the feel in a room to go with the season or a particular holiday or whatever. I also keep one on my dryer,to protect from scratches and adds a pretty touch. I use a lot of them on my walls,change them ofetn. Cheaper than art work and framed pictures etc.

My problem is that we have a lazy susan on one side of the oval table. It would sit right in the middle of the table runner and spoil the look of it. I'm thinking about making something to sort of cover the lazy susan.

I have made several and use them daily. I made one in shades of green with pointed ends that looks nice draped over the back of the recliner...kind of like we used to do ions ago when doilies were used on the back of a chair.

I use my table runners all the time. As there are just two of us, the dining table doesn't get much use. Only for company. So... I get to dress it up with a table runner. I usually make napkins to match.

Love them dont have to just put them on table. Use them on dresser, hope chest, mantel. Have a small wall area next to door or above. You could hang one. I have one on my bar, set cannisters on it. Make nice gifts too.

I'm soooo not into placemats, table toppers, and table runners. I see that kind of stuff as just a lot of extra work; washing them and keeping them looking nice. With kids you'd be washing them everyday. It is easier to just wash off a table. I have made a few as gifts for people who use that kind of thing.
