Explorations in Loom Weaving
More than 50 years ago, I was so inspired by the overshot coverlets in the “Woman’s Day Book of American Needlework” that I purchased a 60-inch, 4-shaft loom, which I did not even know how to warp. Although, I have not yet woven a coverlet, I have widely explored repetitive and symmetric as well as not-quite-repetitive and not-quite-symmetric, patterns and designs in many forms of weaving.
