Flo

"Handwoven Magazine" is sponsoring an on-line Study Group. Each month represents a different weave. March is for Huck or Huckaback Lace Weave. I have a study group that meets at my home once a month and we decided to learn about Huck Lace.

Since I enjoy making dolls, I designed " FLO" and wove her dress on my loom in Green and Orange Huck Lace weave using 10/2 pearl cotton. Each month's colors was to represent the month. The colors for March represent the Irish flag that is green, orange and white for St. Patrick's Day.

I chose two of those colors. I love to needle felt and needle felted her head. I took the weave structure from "Handwoven Magazine"- January/February 2006 page 47. I just won First Place for FLO from the DESERT QUILTERS OF NEVADA show that was held- March 4-6, 2011.
