Weaving Life's Fabrics
Weaving is our language. It ties us to the weaving community and gives
us a means to express ourselves creatively. The March/April 2018 issue
of Handwoven explores how we use cloth to proclaim our family
and community origins. The projects in this issue tell stories and honor
rituals and customs from cultural groups far and wide.
Sarah H. Jackson’s Prayer Shawl says “Wrap yourself in this hug” while
Sandee Jaastad’s placemats welcome you to Chanuka. Angela K. Schneider’s
scarf reminisces about Mardi Gras from her time in New Orleans. Other
weavers speak about their families, such as Lucienne Coifman with her
wavelet rep runner that honors her husband’s work and Nancy Dunlap with
an interpretation of her family’s tartan. Deborah Jarchow, Deborah
Bagley, and Kathleen Farling all spoke about being part of various
weaving communities. Allen Walck’s scarf and Connie Westbrook’s Pool
Inspired towels reflect on some of the everyday aspects of life. Lastly,
Anita Osterhaug’s scarf honors the traditions of African mud cloth.
