While doing my Basic Weaving Class in March 2011, at The Fold in Marengo, IL with instructor Rita Hagenbruch, I was asked what I wanted to do for my second weaving project. So I pulled out a copy of HandWoven magazine and said, "I want to do a banner based on these Prayer Flags". The learning curve was steep... but I got it done!
This is a banner that I wove in single thread Doubleweave Pick-Up to commemorate my grand-nephew's Dedication on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at the Radford SDA Church, Radford, VA.
The saying is from Proverbs and Benjamin's grandmother helped in the selection of the quote. Design, layout and color selection were done by my partner, Andrew.
The design was based on the Prayer Flags done by Linda Arndt of the Woodstock Weaver's Guild as published in HandWoven magazine (Jan/Feb 2011, Issue 153, Pages 50-51).
I relied heavily on Jennifer Moore's book "Doubleweave" from Interweave Press and her very clear DVD instructions on Doubleweave and Doubleweave Pick Up techniques. She is an excellent teacher... Highly recommend!
