Stash Busting Bags
I’ve made a lot of cloth and boy, doesn’t it just pile up? I decided to upcycle my samples into one-of-a-kind bags. My material of choice, waxed canvas. And like just about anything new, it became a pretty big rabbit hole. Who knew? I took some video classes from Klum House – such a nice…

Winter House 2025
Tis the season to gather up a bunch of textiles and make my way to Callanwolde, the arts center where I teach weaving to the best students ever. This year I focused on bags made from waxed linen and handwovens from the TC2 and Megado and a bunch of Summer and Winter tea towels made…

Good News
I’ve had a little hiatus from weaving as I have undergone several weeks of eye surgeries. I celebrated a good report from my retina doc with weaving for an animal loving friend. All of her animals are black so they presented a photoshop challenge but, all in all, they turned out pretty well. I have…

Change of Pace – Painted Warp
A little change of pace for me – a brief interlude with a painted warp and plain weave.

OVER|UNDER Alphabet
I had a lot of ideas brewing while waiting for my TC2 to arrive. One of them was thinking through how I would weave a book – washable, durable, maybe with pockets and zippers and… you get the idea. As I got to the end of my black and white cottolin warp I decided to…

Square Bubbles
It had been a while since I wove on Big Sister, my 32 shaft Megado loom – since the summer when I wove fabric for a retirement celebration vest that I wore to Complex Weavers Seminars and HGA’s Convergence Fashion Show last summer. Anyway, back to the story. I have been having a great time…

Frankenbeam – Sectional Warping #2
When last we visited Sort of Sectional Warping for the TC2 I had warped my Louet Delta using the sectional warping kit and then transferred the warp to my TC2 beam using the supplemental warp beam kit (with a twist) for that same loom. So far, that warp has been great but I wanted to…

We the People
You know how, sometimes, you get a song stuck in your head? For me, that song has been The Preamble to the Constitution from Schoolhouse Rock!. Every time some new craziness has hit the news that song just starts playing in my head. After a couple of months of this I decided to try to…

Delight in Discovery
Having successfully tied on, see previous post, I jumped in to interpret another watercolor painting as weaving. This time the subject was the 99 year old (she is now 100!) mother of a friend from a photo taken by her granddaughter during an eclipse. I was so inspired by the look of delight on her…

Tying On – Back to Front
In the last post I shared my (Sort of) Sectional warping. While my dog was checking out the new beam support on the Delta, I carried the beam back to the TC2 and, with my husband’s help, attached it. Two sets of lease sticks later, I was off making good on my weaver’s knot practice.…
