I don't do table runners however I do sew for charity. I could give cash to charity but I really enjoy seeing what one of my quilts will bring in a auction. Once I raised about 750 dollars. FUN!
I always make one for our local school carnival. Lots of moms buy lots of tickets to buy one of my quilts and that brings money to the school for things they have no money for. It is for the fun of it.
