******************************************* Quilt project This week I put aside time to work on a personal project. If you haven't heard me talk about it already, I am working on my first handwoven quilt! Today was cutting fabric and deciding on block layout. After much thought, I have decided on a very basic patch design. As I am almost completely "winging it" I thought it best to keep it as straightforward as possible. Plus, I have to serge every single raw edge and that adds on a lot time 😆 Next week on Youtube I'll be sharing part 1 of the process of ideas, weaving the fabric and preparing to sew. Extra learning resources Essential tools for rigid heddle weaving... Doubling sett in rigid heddle weaving... 2 hacks for clear sheds on a rigid heddle loom... ******************************************* Remember to follow me on Instagram! and tag me if you complete any of my classes or patterns - I will share them in my stories 😉 I also share content on my Instagram and in my stories that you won't see elsewhere.
Have a joyous weekend! Until next time... Happy Weaving! *This newsletter may contain affiliate links. For further information, please view my disclosure policy. |

Hi Weavers! I ran some polls during the week on my Youtube community page.
