I have made a few as gifts and were very well received and are loved. It is such a good feeling to visit someone and see your work displayed.

I love making & using table runners. I try to make them reversible which doubles my possibilities.

I so agree with you. I have a DIL who is a very plain girl & has no clue about decorating. I started by offering her a quilted wallhanging (which I loved) & now she's asking for new placemats & other things that are adding color to their home. It makes me very happy to see her using them in their home.

They are really great to decorate with. Always a change is good for me. Brings in color to the room and you can make them to match everything.

I have made 4 plus place mats to match. Have not one set for myself. Maybe one day!!!

I totally agree, could not have put it better myself.

Sorry - but I am going to ask again - or can someone point me in the direction that explains it. I understand the 10 min table runner where you sew the front and back to make a tube. What I don't understand is how you shape the tips and finish it. Do you sew the tips, and then most of the side seams leaving a space on the side to turn it right-side out? Thank you.

Table runners are a great gift. Everyone has a table and most people like them. I've made a ton of them and everyone is so pleased. They also work well on coffee tables, dressers, etc.

Google 10 minute table runner and you will find complete instructions.

I love making & using tablerunners. I've taken pix of my most recent one & a pix of prob. the most complicated one I've ever made. I hope it's ok to put pix in this area.
The pattern for the first one orig. came with autumn leaves but I fussy cut these flowers & appliqued them instead.

The Tumbling Blocks is not like the orig. It's done in strips & every strip is woven. It's also reversible. First time I ever did a reversible border. There is also a version that creates stars depending on the fabric colors you use. I haven't done that one yet.

Thank you, got it. I think I will have fun making these.
Maryewfun :-D
