The interlocking gingko leaves of this runner bring a bright spark of green to your table. The Wood element represents life, energy, and growth, and gingko leaves in particular symbolize longevity. When your family gathers around the table for a special meal, like Thanksgiving or another celebration, this table runner can serve to remind everyone how the life of a family lasts through each generation.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS

Approximately 52 inches (132 cm) long by 11½ inches
(29 cm) wide.

This table runner can be made larger or smaller by
working more or fewer leaves than the pattern calls for.
Please note that, like a family, this runner is built from
its individual parts. It can require a little attention to
bring those parts together—again, like any family—but
it’s worth it.
