I finally finished this custom order. Handwoven 100% natural cotton short sleeved jacket/shawl. It has one of our hand carved Apple heartwood buttons and is super silky soft. Can't wait to get this in the mail to the customer who waited so patiently 🤍

White Girl Summer has commenced/ Appalachian style 🌞

I'll be listing my latest handwoven textile here tonight. This will be available for purchase 😊 Stay tuned, and thank you for supporting my work🤍

Working on a fun project and collaboration with Traditional Apothecary 👀 Stay tuned!!!

After two months I'm finally shipping out a custom order to a very special customer. I love packaging my weavings with personal touches such as a hand written card and dried herbs and flowers. Thank you so much for supporting pro-white artisans 🤍

I recently attended the NOVA Arts & Culture event in Virginia. It was very well organized and it felt great to see familiar faces and meet new like-minded folks. It is amazing to see the support for the arts and crafts, “by our people, for our people”. For many years, there have been conversations about the need for such an event. I am grateful that NOVA recognized that need. I had the honor of being invited to sit on a brief artist panel alongside three very talented people. I sold a few of my handwoven shawls, and it was really amazing to see the beautiful women walking around the event for the rest of the evening, wearing my work! I hope to see this become an annual event. If you missed it, we hope to see you next time.

I had a blast on The Artist Spotlight podcast tonight. It was inspiring and I came away from it with new ideas. Thanks to Mary Anna for the opportunity to come on the show, and to the live listeners for their great questions and conversation.

A wonderful conversation with Sarah Dye from Loom Woven about her beautiful weaving and textiles. A true treat to get to know her a little better and peek into her process, I’m huge fan of what she does. Friends of the channel join us with wonderful and insightful questions and comments. Hail Our Folk!

Warping the beam of the loom in preparation for baby blankets!!! The tension box keeps the threads in order and controls the tension while I count and wind. This will be a 36 inch warp, utilizing the maximum width of my loom. . .

Natural, undyed organic cotton, grown in the US.

Fresh warp. Let's go!

Keeping in mind the background color (warp) is white, and that I'll use contrasting colors with it, which pattern do you think I should do next for the baby blankets I'm about to weave? Vote in the poll below. Twill, Diamond, or Finnish

Finnish won, but I want to do stripes, so I guess I'll have to weave both Finnish and the striped twill

Sunny days working on these little surprises in collaboration with Traditional Apothecary.... stay tuned, beautiful people🤍
