I made a bed runner for my niece as she liked to sit at the foot of the bed and watch the small tv in her parents room when the main tv was in use in the living room.....and I have thought about making a runner for the foot of my bed as I often sit at the foot of it and pull on my support hose in the morning....My bedroom is small. I also had two small dogs that I used to let sleep on my bed and they hung out at the foot of the bed so I had a small quilt on that end. Now if it was storming outside...they came up to the head of the bed as close to me as they could get. Present dog, not allowed on the bed but sleeps next to it in his cushy dog bed with his own soft quilt which he carefully arranges every night.
