needle and thread

I have had this image on file for such a long time as I collect antique crochet doilies (as well as a thousand other things...). This image was to spur me on to creating my own table runner, which I have still yet to do. I know it is becoming increasingly popular to create hand made items and contributions for the day....but think about all the different ways you could dress tables using fabulous finds....and think of the money you will save and the satisfaction in spending the time to create something yourself....
