On the Frame

I added the borders to the top and have it loaded on the frame and just waiting for me to begin the quilting!
I wound off a skein of painted cotton warp according to the directions in the latest HandWoven magazine.  I now have to wait for my weft thread to arrive-chocolate brown tencel/cotton yarn.  PuffDaddy has no fear of the weaving process........I am much more tentative than he around my projects on the loom than I am in the sewing room. 
I finished the pair of these.....if only I could find two home schooling children who could use them!  I wonder....?
