A friend and coworker shared some beautiful cross stitch and crocheted edge pillowcases with me that her mother had made many years ago. I made them into a table runner for her and her sister. She cried when she saw them because they reminded her of mom!! She was thrilled!

I took the crocheted edge from the back of the pillow case and added it to the front of this table runner

What a good idea! I've got a few pillowcases too that my mom made. I want to preserve them. This would be perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for sharing, because I have some emroidered pillowcases from my mother and I don't like keeping them folded in a drawer. This way I could have them where I would see them everyday.

You gave me a great idea - my late DMIL made some amazing cross-stitched tablecloths and napkins, which I use only occasionally. A couple of the napkins would make an awesome table runner!!!

Thanks for sharing!!
