Fiber and Felines (or) Cats and Cloth

I did some cloth weaving tonight,
a passion inspired and nurtured by Jude Hill's Cloth to Cloth workshop.

It took me all night to get from this:


To this:


 I was half-way though when I took it all apart and started anew.

Now I have to baste it all. I'll use Jude's brilliant invisible basting method.


Kitties "helped."


In between naps.

  4. Beautiful Morna... but I can only imagine how the little kitties would love to "help" with all those dangling colorful strands...

  5. Beautiful colors. I can't imagine weaving it all and then taking it all out to redo - oh whoops of course I can, I've done the same thing with other stitchery projects! *smile*

  6. Thank you all - and, yes, Gwen, the kitties provided quite the challenge! It would have made an amusing video. :-)

  12. More thanks from me! I love it when something i do inspires someone else to get busy making.

    Nancy - I redid it because some of the strips seemed too wide. I tried to selectively remove and reweave, but that was such a mess, I just ended up undoing the whole thing and starting over.

    Deanna - Kitties are halfway there. I have had many cats, and they all were named on day one. Not sure why this is taking so long.

  13. such a beautiful cacophony of color!! so often we shy away from such brilliance...not sure why. i just get the urge to want to roll up in that cloth and lose myself in the sheer joy of all those colors!
