“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”

New Moon in Virgo trip coming up. New beginnings, a fresh start.

Security Blankets and African Trade Bead Bracelets for the Children, and a Scarf for their Nurse.

As you have notice that there are two different sizes of blankets. The eco-dyed blanket on top was the size that I used to weave the blankets in. The larger ones below is me moving from my 45" floor loom to the 60" one. From now on, all the blankets/throws that I weave for market and the children will be this new size.

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.”

Another full moon road trip tomorrow.
Gazing, chasing and recharging in the wee hours of the morning with the Buck Moon. The Buck Moon is for rebirth and regeneration.

Just in time for a road trip this evening with the super strawberry moon.The “Strawberry Moon” marks the last full moon of spring and the first of summer. I will be able to do some moon gazing and chasing in the wee hours of the morning.

Like all of my Heirloom Weaving, I will weave three each in a 3/2 and 5/2 cotton yarn. Of the three of each set, one is removed to be gifted to a children hospital.
The remaining two will be offered for purchase.

Beginning
“The place where something begins”

The beginning of a Loom Woven, Cotton, Heirloom Blanket.

I weave a blanket that is meant to be used. The cotton is grown and milled in the USA. Two thickness of yarn are use in the creation of these blankets. I start by choosing a pattern from a book that was first published May of 1944. My reprint of the book is the 26th edition, from 1989. After a pattern is chosen, three blankets are woven in a light weight and a heavy weight cotton each. When each blanket is cut off the wooden loom, the ends are hand tied with an overhand knot. That pattern might not every be used again.

These blankets will age just like your favorite old jeans.
