Last month when my daughter and I went to Galena, IL she picked out a pattern for a table runner and bought some of the fabrics and the ruler. When I got home I had a couple things to work on and forgot all about it……sound familiar?
The other day my neighbor was over and saw the ruler which reminded me to get the runner made.
The pattern is Spicy Spiral Table Runner which the shop mailed to me. It is only as I’m writing this post that I notice the pattern says it is for a 9 degree Wedge ruler, I used a 10 degree and had no problem other than I wasn’t able to cut the very first piece of the strata. My ruler is by Pillips Fiber Art and I have several others that I bought but haven’t used yet. There are free patterns on their website!
I arranged the fabrics the way I wanted them for my stratas and also marked my pieces on a little swatch (didn’t really need this).
Isn’t it cute to see the two sections you make!
Once I got to this point I was all excited and took a pic with my phone and sent it to my daughter in a text. Then I got a text from her asking………….where is the blue and pink?????? Oh boy.
She had bought the green and a couple oranges and I forgot she wanted the other colors in it. The store sample looked different but neither one of us can remember how the colors were arrange. Thankfully she bought a yard of the yellow print so I’ll be making it again. We are thinking of using the yellow print on the outside sections where the orange and green are, then I’ll add each of the other colors she wants in the center. This should be interesting!
I finished the Spicy Spiral Table Runner and got it all quilted.
I even made another Spicy Spiral Table Runner with some pink and blue in it!
I was so tickled to see this deer by the river the other day. I was just heading out the basement door when I saw it come up from the river, I ran back upstairs to get my camera and was able to get this shot from the deck just before it ran between houses. We seldom see a deer here by the river……now 2 blocks away on the highway that is a different story.

Ah! I've been waiting for what you would do with that ruler! Now I want one. I did finally buy the 60 degree ruler but haven't tried making anything with it. Bought it when JoAnn's had a 40 percent sale.
Next expense will be this ruler. Love your table runner and looking forward to seeing it complete..

Very pretty. I got to together with 2 friends, & we made it in different colorways. I thought the pattern said either a 9 or 10 degree ruler, but I didn't check. It's bigger if you use the 10 degree ruler which we wanted. I posted it on the Quilting Board & had several private messages asking for help. Did you find the instructions confusing? We did, & so did several others, but once we started cutting the wedges, it all sunk in. So if anyone wants to try it, just start cutting & you'll be fine. It was really fun to make. Christmas fabric would be fun too. Your blog is one of my favorites.

Hi Gramm999, I live in NZ and have bought the pattern and ruler, and thought I had followed the instructions, but have hit a brick wall, seems I have missed cutting some wedges, but no idea how or what sizes they should be?
1st strata went from 21 – 18 turned it around and cut 2nd strata set 16 1/2 – 12 3/4 wondering if this is my mistake, turning and making these cuts?
Realise this was a few years ago for you, but you mentioned rewriting parts of the instructions, wondered if you can help?
Material left uncut is indication I am missing something.
Hope you can help
Kind regards
Linda

Love that runner and the colors are fab even if they are wrong. 🙂 We have deer which hang out by the interstate but don't come near our house and we don't even have dogs.

The runner is beautiful. The colors are very summery. Thanks for the link to the site. Every time I see one of these runners, I promise myself I will make one.

That is such a cool way cut the fabric, makes it so interesting! ok, I'm off to look up the pattern 🙂

Everytime I spot a fruit or veg. fabric I like I buy for this pattern. Now to making it. Love the fabrics you used .

I so love that pattern, it was all over blog land when I started to read blogs. Is it hard to make? And the pattern you linked in is for this runner? That focus fabric looks gorgeous!

Pretty table runner and pretty little deer, too. I see quite a few deer in the woods back of my place – they come out every June to eat my best daylilies. But I don't have any Canada geese to watch. 🙂

Oh Connie!!! You reminded me that I have had that pattern forever,….both of those rulers and still have to make it!!! Love your fabrics!!!
VickiT
That turned out just beautiful Connie. I've got that on my list of things to buy. I wonder why the pattern says it uses the 9 degree but on the description to the right of the pattern on their website shows the 10 degree is needed, including a link to the 10 degree. Strange. I never noticed that before now after you said you'd used the 10 degree.

I've been wanting to make that runner ever since the first time I saw it. Love your colors (even if they are "wrong"). Your deer looks like a youngster. Guess I'll be seeing babies around here pretty soon. It's that time of year.

I think it looks great in the colorway you used. I agree with Libby – your deer looks like a young one
