Spring 2022 on the loom: Overshot/tapestry mash-up, commissioned wall hanging

Oh, hi there! Where have I been the last few months? What have I been weaving? Well, in April and May I finished a commissioned wall hanging inspired by art from artist Graham Yarrington. I was asked to make a piece that pulled from the colors and feelings in images like this: I used an…

On the loom

I’m finishing up some cottolin towels to ship off to Process Low Waste Shop in Stevens Point, WI. The strange pandemic economy meant that I had to improvise a little with the colors/types of yarn I was able to get this time. These towels will look a bit different than the last batch I made,…

Handmade Toledo washcloth restock!

I took a lovely trip to Toledo the other day and re-stocked the handwoven washcloths on the shelves of the Handmade Toledo Makershop! I added a couple new colors to their washcloth stock.

Thank You! A 2021 donation update

I’m writing this post to everyone who bought a woven thing from me this year! Your help enabled me to donate to Black & Pink, an organization that I think is doing some amazing work. To each person who bought a washcloth or towel or scarf, to the lovely folks at Process General who matched…

December Holiday times and home-delivery to Ann Arbor

As the year shrinks to an end I am looking at my smaller and smaller piles of woven goods and feeling so happy! I always wonder, at the beginning of the holiday season, if I’ve made anything that a person would want to take home. I go through moods with my work. Some days I…
