Embroidered Pumpkin Table Runner 72" – Light Green

Six feet of soft green velvet with gold embroidered pumpkins running the length of it. At fourteen inches wide it covers the center of a table without hiding the surface, which is the whole argument for a runner over a cloth.

The velvet pile gives the green real depth, and the gold thread catches candlelight in a way flat printed cotton never will. It's the difference between a table that looks decorated and one that looks considered.

Seventy-two inches suits a table seating six to eight with a graceful drop at each end. It layers beautifully — candlesticks and greenery down the center, or left bare so the embroidery does the work.

Why Katie loves it: "A runner is the fastest decision in hosting. One minute, and the table looks like you thought about it. I put this down at the start of October and build everything else on top of it through Thanksgiving."
