Backstrap Obsession

7/5/2017

 
Picture
So you know how just over a year ago I went away for a weekend and did a little experimenting with a backstrap loom? 
Picture
And remember how I gave a little report at the end of July about my month (a whole month!!!)  of weaving on this loom -- only to find myself writing  again and again, and again about the loom and the cloth I couldn't stop making, not to mention the upcoming show at the Latimer Quilt and Textile Center in Tillamook, OR where said cloth would actually be hanging on public view?
Picture
Well all that cloth is now there, and both it and I will be at the opening reception on 9 July, 2017 from 12 - 4 PM.  Be great to see you! And for those of you for whom it is just a teensy bit too far, I hope to to have  pics of how it looks in real life, rather than just how I imagine it to be, for the blog post after this.  
Picture
In the meantime, Weave on!

Can't wait to see the photos. Moving house after 17 years of living in it ,and 37 of being in the district, has taken all my time. Not a stitch has been sewn, not a spindle spun nor yarn crossed a needle. I am in dire need of some textile/woolly/spinney thingy...can't even find the right word!! So yes please lots of photos.

I wish you the best for this show -- and that it's all you could hope it might be. It is a wee bitty too far to come for me, alas, so I'll look forward patiently to your lovely photos.
