Hey Muriel. A table runner sounds great. I also like some of those little 12 x 12s that were made around Christmas. I think they were called candle mats. Those could be made non-seasonal for those who put out candles year-round. My best friend has a huge Tabasco (chili peppers) collection, so I made a table runner using Tabasco fabrics and other reds and golds. She loved it and uses it often.
