yes. same song, different verse. now they go in a different place and have a new name. when they go on the mantel, they are a mantel scarf. on the table, a runner. wherever you put them, they're a decorative strip of fabric embellished in some way, usually not necessary, but pretty nonetheless.

I remember an old episode of simply quilts that used the runners over the pillows. Connecting Threads has book under $5 I think.

I am in the process of making one for a Christmas gift from the book Bedrunners Using Precut Fabrics. Found the book at JoAnns for $7.95 in paperback. I am using a Moda jelly roll. Should be done in a day or so. I will post when I finish.

Except for those of us up north, the extra layer of warmth over one's feet is very useful in the winter!

I also crochet and they have been popular for a couple years there. I kind of wondered about their purpose also.

Here´s the one I´m making for my niece.
Yet to finish the binding.

what is the size on this?

Here is a link to a picture of the one I made for my bed. It measures 104" X 34". They are so fun and quick to do.

In this pic I had moved the bedrunner up so i would show in the photo. It was just an inch or so above the ground.

Here is the one I made my mom for Christmas.
