I hope you like it and will visit the new site. A New Project. Hi. I’ve been away a while working on a new project. It has been completed up…
Recently, my sister Ruth challenged me to create a wool tapestry on a cut length of linen warp she picked up at a sale. Since I have not yet worked with wool and have none in my yarn cache, she sent me collection of colors from her own supply. Whether my piece will be a rug…
I did it! Huzzah! Nearly ten yards of fabric woven, sewn and hemmed, and hanging on my bedroom windows. I haven’t ironed this much since I wore silk blouses to work in the 1990s. Ellie usually finds a way to sit on newly woven fabric. I’m sure she thinks it is her right. She was determined to get…

My two principal interests are weaving fabric and story telling. Although at first it appears the two topics can be interwoven into one blog, I find in my Gemini mind they must be separate. After all, not everyone who wants to read about weaving fabric is interested in wending her/his way through a tall tale,…
Several years ago, I bought an ancient 4-harness LeClerc Nilus floor loom and began to learn to weave cloth. So far, I’m doing pretty well, if I do say so myself. Except … with … Warping … Every serious weaver knows a project which turns out well links directly to the quality of the warping…
