MY GIVEAWAY:
Prize Number One is one of my Little Frame Loom kits in cherry red.
It is a simple weaving loom which is great for small projects and is easy to learn for kids and beginners. You can use a wide variety of materials for weaving – yarn, recycled plastic, paper, novelty fibers.
The kit includes:
• 7 x 5 ¼ inch frame loom
• beater comb for packing the rows of weaving together
• needle-style shuttles in 2 lengths
• instructions with color diagrams & photos, including two ways to warp and finish your project
• link to additional video instructions
I designed the loom and tools and have them laser cut for me from acrylic plastic.Prize Number Two is a tiny quilting hoop ornament in pink and green “flying geese” triangles. The bamboo hoop is just an inch across and the fabric is digitally printed and then hand quilted with some tiny stitches. I also designed these hoops and have them laser cut from bamboo plywood.

Love the cherry loom. I’ve experimented with a cardboard loom but it would be fun to use one that doesn’t bend!
I would love to do weaving. I’m very much a yarn person!
I would so love to learn to weave! The more our family camps, the more my daughters and I want to return to the “simpler times” and try our hands at making things ourselves. Both my daughters have expressed wanting to make rag rugs like we have seen in some of our adventures and I’d like to learn some native american weaving techniques as well.
Thank you for your kindness and generousity (even if I am not a winner this time around)!
I would love to learn how to quilt. I can just picture myself getting married and spreading homemade quilts over all of the beds in my new home.
You did a great job on the giveaway!
weaving. My mom and I always dream of a day where we have one of those HUGE looms we see at the weavers display at the state fair. (MN)
I already quilt, so I would love to learn how to weave! One think my daughter doesn’t know how to do and I could finally have one up on her!
I would like to learn how to weave. I already can do simple quilting.
I would love too learn to weave. I can manage to quilt so a new skill would be great.
