for the year of 2010, i sent my mom, and three sisters each a table runner each month for their 2009 christmas present...these were different kinds of table runners, some quilted squares, but mostly machined applique with that months holiday as the theme....they all loved them, and displayed them....and have told me they are displaying them again this year..so even tho some of them did not use them before, they do now........it was a really fun project....gina
