Behind The Design
We drew on our own collection of found feathers, gathered on walks or while traveling, for our Large Feathers design. Birds are naturally adorned in astonishing plumage, from colorful crests to ornate tail feathers. Here we have an array of feathers from birds of prey: hawk, eagle, falcon, and owl. Each quill is a reminder to cherish and respect these incredible creatures of flight, sky, and air.
We have two lengths available:
Measures 76" × 18" | 193 cm × 45 cm
or 91" × 18" | 231 cm × 45 cm
* Embroidery motif placement varies slightly per table runner.
Attention to Detail
The embroidery on our Feathers table runner in the standard 76” length is composed of approximately 330,000 stitches. It takes over 18 hours for this design to be embroidered on the machine, overseen by a skilled operator who manually changes threads each time the color changes. After the embroidery is completed, it takes about 1.5 hours for each runner to be expertly hand sewn and finished with care.

In Stitches: The Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk
Featured in Oprah's Top 10 Best Gift Books!
"In Stitches: the Enchanted World of Coral & Tusk" is an exploration of the story, craft and creative process of Coral & Tusk founder and artist Stephanie Housley, sharing a life's work of drawing and embroidery inspired by cherished memories and her joyous appreciation of the natural world.
Every collection begins with abundant research, drawing from a wide variety of inspiration.
Stephanie first creates her irreverent characters and bold pattern designs by putting pencil to paper. Every collection begins with abundant research and each individual design stems from her original hand-drawn illustrations.
Stephanie then scans her original drawing, creating a digital file. She redraws the design, stitch by stitch, using specialized software.
Once her designs are digitized, Stephanie connects with our partners in India to begin production. Together they work to perfect each design, finalizing layouts and colors. Our partners in India implement ethical working conditions and provide fair wages.
Once the design is perfected, it is machine embroidered in India by our embroidery partner of over ten years. The large scale embroidery machines make it possible for us to scale Stephanie’s creative process with the flexibility of small production runs.
Nearly all of our products are embroidered on 100% unbleached and undyed linen, avoiding the pollutants found in standard textile dying practices and reducing water consumption. Our linen begins as a flax plant in Lithuania and is then wet spun into yarn at an ISO 9001 company in West Bengal, India, before arriving in Bangalore, India for weaving. All of our linen fiber is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, confirming that it does not contain any harmful substances or chemicals.
Sewing is the final step of our production process. Every Coral & Tusk embroidery is transformed into the final product by our long-time tailors who expertly hem and stitch every piece for you to enjoy in your home.
