This table runner qualifies for loooong in more than one way. First it is 8 feet long - that is one long table!! My table isn’t nearly long enough, so here you only see part of the runner…
Next - it has taken me a long time to get it made…..for one reason and another. Here is a close-up of the textures - linen, cotton, ribbon and other yarns…
But, it is now done and on its way to its new home…
This was a commission piece and I love the materials that were chosen.
I can’t wait to see a photo of it on the long table…
Happy Weaving,

I love the table runner Terri!!
Before I started reading the blog, I looked at the images and thought “It’s not Terri’s colors. She is trying something new!” Then found out that this is a commission piece.
I love the texture and color combination.
Now, are you going to use these colors on your own?
I love your blog. It has been changed!

I have been trying some browns, but not the white and light colours. It was fun to try something new and I enjoyed making it. I would certainly try more of these colours.
Thanks Chiaki.
Yes, I installed a new theme called “PrimePress” - I like the format better.
Happy Weaving,

What a marvelous table runner Terri! The subdued colors with the textured white yarn along with the length of the piece give it such a wonderful presence.

Beautiful runner love the Christmas colors and textures.
I once wove a 120″ table runner on my RH and I understand the pain of getting it done, I felt like I’d woven three king size blankets. I’m sure the receiptent will love the runner.
