Weaving

Weaving

97cm long x 48cm wide (38in x 19in)

On a trip to Laos I was introduced to weaving. Sending time on the weaving loom, with the repetitive action of the thread shuttle passing back and forth plus the up and down action of the foot treadle, I came to greatly admire those who sit and weave all day.

Thanks for the last challenge Misik. It gave me a chance to try weaving a quilt top with torn strips. I like the soft frayed edges of the strips.

Materials: cotton, batik fabric, batting, threads, fabric dye, fabric paint, stamps, fusible web

Techniques: hand dyed, hand stamped, hand woven with raw edge strips, fused, machine quilted
