Living in the Cariboo region of central British Columbia, I weave luxurious wool blankets, soft cotton blankets of all sizes, hand and bath towels, and classy scarves. Everything I make is designed for long-lasting use and enjoyment. I blog about various projects, finished products, and thoughts and ideas about weaving and being a weaver.

Green, Yellow and Cream Towels
I finished a set of green, yellow and cream towels in 2/2 twill and hemmed them all in one day. Some have accents of purple, blue or mauve. They are 100% cotton and should last for years in the kitchen or bathroom.

Gemstone Cotton Blankets
Five of the cotton blankets I blogged about in July when they were still on the loom are ready to go. I am really happy with the rich and vivid colours. The burgundy, greens and purple combine in a lovely way and remind me of rubies, emeralds and sapphires. The tight fringes really suit the blanket design. And as cotton blankets, they are cozy and soft but not too warm - and machine washable.
These blankets are approximately 135 cm wide and 195 cm long, and the price for each is $190. One is longer (C134) at 218 cm and costs $215.
I'll post them on Picasa this week, but here are two samples below.
