Rosie - Reserve Grand Champion
ROSIE:
Rosie won a blue ribbon and RESERVE
GRAND CHAMPION in the West End Fair
in 2003. I designed her and wove the
fabric for her dress.
ROSIE'S OUTFIT: SIDE 1: The loom was threaded
as a reverse 8 harness twill with 2/17 maroon colored
wool. The weft is a variegated yarn that I had. I took
a pattern from "A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns",
edited by Carol Strickler, Pattern #93 and changed it
around to make it look like a bargello pattern.
ROSIE'S OUTFIT: SIDE 2: This is the reverse side of Side 1. In weaving, often the reverse side is different.
