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.

My Summer Project




I have always wanted to try this weave--A Swedish one from Vav.  My son and his wife have moved into a "fixer upper" and have been doing a lot of work on their bedroom/bath.  They live in Colorado.  So I am making two Roman shades for the bedroom.  I decided to weave each piece of fabric in half sections as my loom will not make the wider piece of fabric.  I also think it is easier to weave this way. I am using 10/2 pearl cotton.  It weaves up very fast. I want to get them done before we go to Colorado later in the summer so I can see them hung.
