    First Place – Functional – Convergence 2026 After weaving the cloth in 2025, (see the design process here) I set it aside to have eye surgeries and then other projects. I finally put my new sewing machine to the test, finished the book and submitted it for Convergence 2026 Functional Textiles – Lagniappe. I had…

    First Place (2-peat) -Yardage at Convergence 2026 Again I took the bait for an extension in the deadlines for Convergence Yardage competition. In 2024 I took the extension week to design and make a polychrome summer and winter design on my Megado of sunflowers and went on to win. This time, I took that time…

    Double width very low sew dress wins 3rd Place in Wearable Art at Convergence. This dress is a series of “what ifs”. The design is a bunch of supersized Mardi Gras beads flowing across the fabric. I designed an individual bead and then used Illustrator to make a pattern brush that I then applied to…

    Black and white warps in doubleweave are so fun. I’ve used 1, 2, and 3 colors in the weft and just finished a 4 color weft project. I am trying to weave my paintings in watercolor, pastel and oil for some reason – maybe just because it is hard and fun at the same time.…

    Version 3 of Sectional Warping for my TC2 is complete and for the Cliff Notes summary, it went really well. There are a few minor tweaks for Version 4 (maybe should be 3.5) but provided the warp weaves well, I am getting close. I am still using the supplementary back beam slots and hardware from…

    I love this image. It was taken by Marie Matthews in Tunisia. She is my watercolor teacher and is really generous to share her photography as inspiration for her students. A bunch of rowdy 5 year olds were singing their national anthem in a square. I’ve been working on this image as a weaving and…

    Getting ready to try sectional warping on my TC2 – this time using linen warp, a section box and spool rack. I’m still supporting my back beam in my Delta loom’s supplementary warp beam spot like the other off-loom attempts. The twist this time is that I have created section disks with my laser cutter.…

    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…

    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…

    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…
