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…
Process towels, cottolin hand-towels
Pretty finished towels! Sent these out to Wisconsin in February. Just posting now because… Time? what is it?
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!

Thank You! A 2021 donation update

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…
