Welcome To My blog--my name is Barb and I am a weaver in a small town in Wisconsin called Dell. Actually it is more of a place than a town but I love living in the middle of nowhere. I am a weaver and my studio name is"COULD HAVE BEEN A PIANO" I always said I was going to learn how to play the piano, but as luck would have it I met a wonderful group of women weavers and was hooked. I have been weaving for three years or so but have been addicted to fiber since I started knitting when I was about 10. I still love to knit and do some spinning and dying as well. I love natural fiber and texture. I like to use thrift store finds and use my imagination.

Remember those placemats?


Remember those placemats---well I'm finally going to use them--I think they are pretty cool.  I do love this pattern--think I might make it again.

    I actually made a mistake in calculating the amount of warp I was going to need for 4--so I only made two--then I had the bright idea to make another pair out of a different design in the same colors. Unfortunately they have been whacked off twice--so I think I am going to make the same design only different colors for spring
