Faithful Tractor – Jacquard Weaving
An image of a tractor was woven on a Jacquard loom, stretched over a wooden frame and then the tractor was painted with red textile paint. A farmer’s best friend – the practical, reliable tractor… all work and no play. On a tractor, the only “play” is in the steering – driving through field or parking the tractor in a barn or shed.

I’m Warped – or I’m Making a Warp!
Today I’ll make a warp for some more Sheep Scarves because y’all love them! Here’s a few white sheep on a grey warp, but this warp was for baby blankets. These will be for sale, but The Artisan District has a few – better get them while you can!

Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency July 18-24 2022
I’m so excited to be doing a Fredericton Arts Alliance “virtual” Residency from July 18 to 24. I’ll keep you posted on what’s happening, but watch @Loominations1, @fredartsalliance and more! I’ll do a pop-up somewhere in Fredericton and demonstrate what I’m working on now and I’ll bring some past samples. I’ll also have some “Hang-a-Heart” hearts to give away.

New Cowls with Beaded Fringes
Check out the new line of my very versatile handwoven cowls that feature a beaded fringe! These are lightweight, adjustable and super fun to wear in at least three different styles (see images below)! You can dress them up… they’ll look fabulous as an elegant neckpiece for a night out! Or you can dress them down with jeans! They are woven on a beautiful pastel cotton warp and the weft varies – from silk to cashmere to silk and wool. The fringe is twisted and then beads are added to each little fringe. There are 40-50 fringed pieces on each cowl, each with a bead. These beauties are $75-$95 each.
