W O V E N WARMTH

.....my family claims that I am queen of stating the obvious,

ITS BEEN COLD HERE!!!    As I write this it is -11 degrees, with plenty of snow

I have been weaving up an inside storm of warmth and coziness as a survival technique.
And it has been great to both enjoy the process and have the challenge of discovering what the resulting five and one half yards of fabric will ultimately become.
Linen (with a little cotton) as warp and mostly all wool as weft........Maybe curtains?  Maybe a pieced coverlet??
I'm not sure yet, and I am in no particular rush to decide....we'll just see what evolves.

maybe wait until it becomes obvious.......
