Hard to believe that over a week ago I was taking my second workshop from Rosalie Neilson.
We have set up our looms to weave tables runners. There will be enough warp to weave 11 different motifs. I plan to do 2 table runners, not one long one.
Rosalie teaches a new method of designing for rep weave Her tools and techniques can be applied to other block weaves. With my 8 shaft loom I have 4 blocks available for designing. There are a mind boggling 1,024 possibilities of combinations. ( There is a future book that Rosalie will publish on these design techniques. One of these will definitely find it’s way into my weaving library.)
My color scheme was inspired by pumpkins. Two motifs down and 9 to go!

These will be spectacular runners for fall decorating!

Wonderful design. Looks like a fun workshop. We have some photos of the other students’ projects over at Contemporary Handweavers of Houston at http://weavehouston.org.

I love the look of rep weave but know not one thing about how to weave it. A challenge for the future! I like the way yours is turning out!

Kerry, Thank you. Rep weaves fairly quickly, but is slow to set up since it is warp faced. ( for 8/2 it is sett at 48 epi or higher). It does create nice bold patterns.
