The final instalment of projects completed by those participating in the weaving classes this year and and a few projects from some that have in the past taken my weaving classes. As always, so much talent and diversity and its always encouraging to me to see how much tenacity and perserverance people have when they are determined to not let the challenges that present themselves in weaving and in being a weaver, stop them. To you and all I say Bravo! Above all, it becomes clear just how much there is to learn about weaving and that it may take a few lifetimes to know and try all that is available to learn about weaving.
Here some beautifully woven placemats by Carol Adams. Carol joined our class in the Fall and has had some experience in weaving. She loves a challenge and loves the complexities that weaving can offer. The placemats are a warp faced weave in 4/8 cotton and thick weft which is not that noticeable. A very successful project indeed!
A beautifully woven weft faced rug. Debbie Harris is becoming quite the master at weaving rugs. Here is one of her latest creations. Presently she awes us all in class with the Navajo rug she is weaving on a gobelin style loom, so perfectly executed eventhough Debbie doesn't think so. We believe Debbie has reached Nirvana!
Francois Seguin is another one of our very humble weavers. He has always had a passionate interest in Ceinture Flechee (sorry no accents). He created this one for me which I am keeping at the weaving class to have it to show to others as an example. Ceinture Flechee is a finger weaving technique that does not require a loom. Please....don't anyone ask me to teach them. It would most certainly drive me mad!

Another knitters loom project. This one by Wendy Hayden. No, she didn't make the hat. She had bought it and wanted to make a scarf to match it. It does look like she bought them as a set. Wendy has decided that she has to make 20 scarves before she can justify buying what I call a 'real' loom, because the knitters loom seems almost too cute to be a serious loom. They both have their advantages and disadvantages (my favorite saying as many of you know. )
Kate Kitchen stands and smiles proudly here showing a miniature tapestry that she has had framed.
