Applique Cutwork Runner Coral and Sage Green

The Marigold Collection works in the colors of the Indian garden: coral for the hibiscus, sage for the curry leaf plant, gold thread for the marigold that punctuates both. This runner uses the applique cutwork technique, pure cotton panels cut to geometric form and joined with invisible running stitches, to build a surface where two bold colors hold each other in balance.

Coral and sage green are a pairing that Indian textile traditions have always known how to use. The coral is warm without tipping into orange; the sage is cool without going grey. Together, on a pure cotton runner made using the applique cutwork technique, they produce a geometric surface that reads differently against different backgrounds, lighter tables open it up, darker wood makes the colors more saturated.

The cutwork panels are hand-cut and sewn with running stitches so fine they fold into the geometry rather than interrupting it. The hint of gold thread at the edge is not gilding, it is the breath between the two colors, a line that tells each where to stop. This runner belongs to a table that already knows how to gather people.
