It has been a week since I posted - mostly because I didn't have much to post. I did some stabilizing stitches on my November challenge quilt. (Yikes it is already November and I am not ready!) But that is not something that is exciting to show since it is "in the ditch" quilting - and I am not ready to show the quilt top.
One thing that I also do is weaving. And as this week has been spent more with Mom and medical appointments, I am using this 15 inch Schacht rigid heddle loom as it travels well.
This loom comes with a stick shuttle that you wind by hand. But I prefer to use a boat shuttle that has bobbins that you can wind on a bobbin winder - or for portability, a cordless drill.

I am doing one of my favorite techniques that is called clasped weft or "two color interlock." We made a video on this technique that you can find here .
I love to unroll the cloth beam and look at my work.
Blogger is being quirky today and not allowing me to upload the photos in the usual way, so if this post looks a bit "odd" I apologise, but I am not in control of it.
I must tell you that until Mom is back to normal, my posts may be sporadic. Feel free to email me

No pics at all! So the Most important thing that’s left to say is so very happy your
Mom is doing well!
Interestingly I can see the pics but no one else can
There they are. Beautiful woven fabric!!
Funny - I can see #1 - 2 - 4 - your email thing - and the last one. Blogger can be SO frustrating at times - I hope you get it figured out - the photos that I CAN see are great. And I'm glad your Mom is doing okay - ;))
I am seeing 5 pic's of your weaving, looks interesting and fun! Is the yarn on cones 100% cotton and what weight? Can you share where you get it? I am curious if it would work for my machine knit dishcloths.
I so enjoy the occasional weaving that makes it to your blog. You have many talents. Have you been painting at all lately?
Your weaving is beautiful! So amazing.
I just want to look and look at it! Great colors. It's so very nice of you to go to appt with your mom. You're awesome!! Have a happy day! Thank you for sharing! :-) :-)😇🦋
