it’s not all blue
March 11, 2017
students are making progress on their “log cabin” scarves
a slight mistake in threading,
we tied in a temporary string heddle to solved the problem
it would be very nice if the weather was as Spring-y as these colours
a new weaver – don’t you love her selvedges?
just getting started – beautiful hemstitching
my rag weave placemats are very colourful
it takes playtime to get started on a new “boro” piece
woven shibori on the left
the dark scrap is one of the ties from the hippari
so precious it needs to be given a new life
do you see the small light blue fabric?
indigo dyed, linen damask napkin scrap
kantha stitch – the reason I love making these pieces
you can’t help touching it
above all else, I’m a stitcher
and a dyer
and a weaver

Your students are doing great work–how fun, for them, to learn from you! I love the kantha stitch and the texture it leaves behind. I need to experiment with this sort of thing on a quilt.

Kerrie – these students are very keen! The kantha stitch is meditative, no right or wrong way,easy to do.
