                                          The Covid-19 Series. Weaving
                                             Away the Year of Covid

Weaving is a supremely meditative activity. My weavings incorporate new threads for the warp
and fibers prepared from old clothing and other textiles for the weft as well as various yarns and
ribbons.

Preparing the fibers to create a weaving is a process that begins with dismantling. I gather the
“raw” materials from thrift shops, friends, and family. The cloth is cut into narrow strips, joined
together, and rolled into a ball.

Many weavers find warping the loom to be a tedious process; I find it enjoyable and warp my
loom anew for each piece. Each wall hanging is “signed” with two tiny hearts – one for the
receiver and one for the weaver.

I learned the rudiments of weaving while in graduate school at Appalachian State in Boone, NC.
Seeking a creative outlet to refresh my spirit from hours of study and research, I first tried my
hand at spinning and rapidly discovered that my energy was not “spinner material.” The process
was painfully slow and what did I have to show for it? A ball of something unsuitable for either
knitting or crochet, and besides I’m not a knitter either!

My loom is a Dorset-style four-shaft loom built in 2009 by spinning wheel and loom craftsman,
Robert Elbe of Millers Creek, NC.

Weaving allows me to enjoy colors and textures and the creation of individual one-of-a-kind wall
hangings. While I do weave other items such as small rugs, wall hangings are my favorite.

I especially enjoy creating Weavings of Remembrance. These wall hangings are woven in honor
of someone who has passed or a special relationship such as an anniversary or other important
milestone. I request a few pieces of clothing and create a unique wall hanging woven with the
fabric of their life.

The Covid-19 Series was born during the first shelter-at-home period in 2020. There are 19 wall
hangings in the series.
