| Collaboration lap robe |
Diana and a quilting friend, Lani, collaborated on a lovely quilted lap robe that was made up of woven squares sewn together with commercial fabric. Diana wove nine different squares, inspired by an article in the January/February 2004 issue of
Handwoven magazine. These squares are
all woven in Spot Bronson. She used 10/2
cotton sett at 24 epi for the warp. She
used 3/2, 5/2 cotton and sewing thread for the weft. This lap robe was created for the Holiday Cheer project for this coming December.

| Color Inspiration |
Diana entered a scarf in the Nevada County Inspiration Division. The yarn was from the scarf challenge and were contributed by Dee. (See blog post: http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html ) The warp yarns were 8/2 green
rayon, 4 ply variegated rayon, 5/2 light green cotton and ribbon also in
greens. The warp was sett as
follows: 8/2 rayon – 18 epi; 4 ply rayon
– 12 epi; 5/2 cotton & ribbon – 12 epi.
The warp was threaded in a straight draw on 4 shafts.
The weft yarns were the 8/2 green rayon alternating with a
10/2 pale green cotton for the majority of the scarf, woven in plain
weave. Diana used orange, white,
fuchsia, blue and purple similar weight yarns for the accent areas of the weft.
The accent weft patterns were mostly twills found in Anne Dixon’s book: The Handweaver's Pattern Directory.
Diana wove a cotton table runner using an Echo pattern on 8-shafts.
