Gifted, tied on, and something new

Well, the Anna Towels were cut off the loom, hemmed, and gifted. What a success!


Anna Towels

But before cutting them off, I inserted lease sticks to keep the 2 ends per dent in their proper order.


The end of the warp

Mutareposts showed me how to tie a weavers knot and I finished tying on a new warp today.


Old warp, new warp

Before Christmas, R and I went to a new local quilting shop called The Intrepid Thread. The owner has had an online presence for years and her retail shop just opened this month. I picked out a pattern and fabric for a quilted throw. Quilting?? Sure, why not?

Here's the pattern:


Flatbread

And here's the start of the quilting stash.


A new adventure

From left to right: The red will be the small dark rectangles, the light fabric will be the light color, the blue fabric that is 3rd from the left will be the narrow teal blocks, and the remaining 6 fabrics will be large medium green blocks.

The end of the warp

How wonderful to look through the reed and see the end of the warp approaching the heddles.


1-2-3-2 Stripes
Project details on Ravelry

The 1-2-3-2 Stripes fabric is finished, all 4 yards of it. Whew! I hemstitched this end, then went back to the beginning and hemstitched it, because I forgot to when I started the project.

This fabric will be cushions for a rocking chair. It's essentially upholstery fabric, so I wasn't planning on washing it before I cut and sewed it. What do you think? Will that be okay or do you think it would be better if I put it through a gentle cycle in the washer & dryer? It's 100% cotton.

Regardless, I'm counting it as a FO now.
