Great pillows! The finishing edged flatters the weaving as well as serving practical purposes. A neutral yet exciting textural piece, i really like them. I am not familiar with Strickler? I must of missed that one along the way.

The Book is "The Weavers' Book of 8-Shaft Patterns" by Carol Strickler.  It is a wonderful resource.

I've been enjoying your projects.  Looks like you are making great progress up the Hill! ;-)  Do you have many left?

My avatar is a small section of 24S huck where the motif changes in some way each time it repeats. You've probably see it.

Best wishes,

Laurie Autio

Even more interesting up close!  I can't not be enamored of those grid-defying weaving projects!

Notes

I used a 8-shaft honeycomb threading from Strickler then used different tie-ups and treadlings for each pillow (one more still at the sewing machine).  I used many great YouTube tutorials on how to make mitered flanges and invisible zippered closures.
