Da ich ja jetzt den neuen Bortenwebrahmen habe, kann ich endlich auch draußen in der Sonne weben und muss mich nicht mehr irgendwo anbinden ;) Ich habe mich mal an einem Muster aus Finnland versucht, das mir sehr gut gefällt, hier in Wolle gewebt. Now that I have my new tablet weaving loom, I'm more mobile and can weave outside, enjoying the sun. I tried a pattern from Finland in wool. It turned out very nice :) Schließlich hatte ich dann ca. 4,20m Borte :) In the end I had about 4,20m. Also schnell das nächste Projekt aufgeschärt. Ich liebe ja die tollen broschierten Borten aus Birka. Ich habe mir auch vor einiger Zeit dafür sehr dünnes Wollgarn und Metallicfaden besorgt. Then I went on with another project. I love the brocaded bands from the viking age settlement at Birka, Sweden. Some time ago I bought some very thin wool yarn and metallic thread to make those bands. Geijer, Agnes. Die Textilfunde aus den Gräbern, Vol. III of Birka: Untersuchungen und Studien. Uppsala: Kungl. Vitterhets Historie och Antikvitets Akadamien (1938). Pp. 83, fig. 20. Ich habe mich für das Muster vom Band B20 entschieden, in blauer Wolle und Goldfaden. I decided to weave the B20 pattern in blue wool and golden thread. Hier kann man gut sehen, wie dünn die Wolle ist. Da geht das Weben zwar relativ langsam voran, es sieht aber einfach gut aus. Here you can see, how thin the yarn actually is. This makes the weaving process quite slow, but the pattern turns out very nice.

The description card reads, "Crazy Quilt 1883-1893 Silk, cotton, wool, and linen, pieced and embroidered with silk and cotton threads Crazy quilts, which emerged after 1850, were usually composed of small, irregular-shaped fragments of silk, wool, and other fragments pieced together. The seams were then embroidered using a variety of stitches. They acquired the name “crazy quilts” because of the strong colors and busy, confusing nature of their designs, typical of Victorian taste."
This is my favourite of the three I've made so far and as it's quite nostalgic too I think I'll display it in my craft room for a while. I've remembered that the small braid flowers are very old - from my late Aunt's crafting days - she was the one who inspired me to start crafting over 60 years ago. I have another idea to make for a friend.

My book tour was amazing, surreal, an absolute dream come true BUT I had little time in each city to shop! Boo hoo! Fortunately though I did get to hit a few nice shops thanks to my friend Leslie who introduced me to this fabulous notions store in San Francisco called Bell'occhio. This store lef
Keep your linens smelling of spring long after your cleaning is finished. These simple sachets are perfect for stuffing in your intimates drawer or tucking under your pillow. Unlike Husby’s recommendation, as he snatched up 3, they’re too sweet to toss into a dirty gym bag (maybe febreze is a better solution for that magnitude of stench, babe.) Fabric swatches Cut fabric into 3X2 inch rectangles. The ones I used can be purchased HERE. Using old tshirts, shirts, or any lightweight fabric would also work (fabric needs to be lightweight so aroma can be smelt). Don’t want to doll yours up? Simply pour the lavender into a sock and tie the top in a knot. Dried Lavender or Any Dried Herbs 1 cup can be purchased HERE or at any natural food store Embroidery Floss I purchased mine HERE. Make sure to double your strands before stitching to achieve contrast Fabric Sheers Fray Check Apply to edges of fabric once completed. Can be purchased HERE.
