Luckily this table is actually a boardroom table and I'm not all that attached to it, so I can work on it and not mind when I accidentally create small compass point dents or when flecks of permanent market come through paper.

Most of mine have been washed to a softness you have to feel to experience. I might add a quilted table runner on the dining room table for various holiday themes.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04203042019743048339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-67353834643818280362014-06-25T22:11:45.333+10:002014-06-25T22:11:45.333+10:00We have a black glass table with wood edges and wo...We have a black glass table with wood edges and wooden legs now in our new Condo. My hubby and I always have a nice table mat (home made) under our dinner plates when we have company I alway have a beautiful table cloth on the table I have several in small size for when table is closed and large when table is open. A priest friend said family dinner without a table cloth is like going to bed without sheets. I will never forget him.

We use serviettes, though, and your post has just reminded me that I promised to make a couple for my dad this week - thanks!

I have a beautiful 8 seater of dark wood, but one dinner party ended up having a discoloration when someone put a hot casserole dish back on the wood instead of the placemat/tablerunner.
