Twisted Pole Table Runner

[Twiggy]

I've made one before in white/bright colours but this time I am using colours that might be more suited to Christmas, I think. Not the traditional red/green colours but lots of gold and black.

I missed buying the kit for this runner in these colours so I've sourced the fabric myself.  This morning has been spent marking/sewing/cutting/pressing/trimming all of the HSTs. My back is glad that there were just 30 of these to make.

Tomorrow i'll sew up the rows.

That's going to be very chic - will you quilt the white bits in gold thread or black?

I'm not sure... perhaps I'll venture out of my quilting comfort zone this time  . I'm a very 'plain' quilter and I usually go for a thread that won't stand out.

Is that the same design as the blocks in the The Whale ???

I don't think so but it does look very similar doesn't it. This runner is all HSTs and you can see similar here:

Just the binding left to sew and it's finished.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

@Twiggy, the stitching you did is beautiful. May I ask if you do ruler quilting? If so, you have it down to perfection. I am waiting for my new Juki to arrive and I want to start practicing ruler quilting.

I've used the quilting bar with my walking foot and the wiggly line is one of the decorative quilting stitches on my machine (I just extended the stitch length).  I would like to try ruler quilting but as yet I haven't done it. I'd probably like a class on it so when the world opens up again I may look for one close by.

Thanks all for the lovely comments.

Nothing wrong with a nice 3.5 Straight stitch and an extended Serpentine stitch for quilting!!  (feeling very proud as they are my go to Quilting stitches)
