Now my daughter uses table runners also, so I'm working on her collection.
Your MIL must be related to mine! She always sets a beautiful table, complete with candles for every meal.
Icon17 - I love using table runners for decoration. I have a long countertop on the wall opposite the working area of my kitchen where I serve large dinners buffet style. A table runner really looks great there. They really are very functional as well as beautiful. Make one with your fav fabrics and try it out!
