New fabrics, recycled fabrics, men’s ties, new sheets and old sheets whether plaid, plain or patterned all found their way into works of art for floors and walls in Deb Sharpee’s Rag Rug Weaving class, our last class of the 2018 season.
Most people wove at least two rugs or a combination of rugs, runners or place mats. Laughter and conversation within the class provided some of the fuel that kept the weavers weaving, not to mention the few well-placed jokes in Deb’s handout.
According to Deb, the nutshell view of this class is: Design…Arithmetic…Prep…Weave…Finish!
This class has been “the closer” for the past few years and it’s a perfect and cozy way to take us from one year into the next.
The final reveal at the end of class for one student…rolling out two rugs and one runner! One of the stars of the week was this wall hanging made with men’s ties. A sample was brought in for inspiration and Deb knows how to incorporate just about anything into a rag rug (including plastic flowers and sequined prom dresses).
We close the 2018 season with warmth and Sievers hugs (like this one at the end of class) from all of us to all of you!
YaHoo!! What a nice post. Hugs from anyone from Sievers is the best way to end the year.❤️
Thank you, Dee! We enjoyed a little time at the Red Cup this morning. Big hugs to you and Tim from all of us at Sievers!
Such a wonderful week! Thanks for the memories Carolyn!
Thank you! It wouldn’t be the same without you!
It was such a nice class! Everyone was supportive and friendly. Deb, of course, was great. Thank you to my classmates, our fearless leader, and Sievers.
It’s a great way to end the season…the Sievers family of students and teachers is the best!
What a wonderful season. I have been following the newsletters all season. Sometime after I retire I want to attend a session. We visited the school two years ago. Amazing.
Enjoy your wonderful creations.
Thank you for subscribing to our news and for visiting us! We’ll look forward to seeing you in a class sometime.
Delightful end to the season! Very productive class
It’s almost a tradition now and so much fun to see all that is accomplished “underfoot”!
Deb’s rag rug class is so much fun. A special thanks to the weaving fairy for her assistance. Somehow she has been in almost every one of Deb’s classes with me.
Thanks Mona! Turns out, there are a lot of weaving fairies…they appear in most Sievers weaving classes!
Lynne and Ed Nelson would like to wish everyone at Severs and that beautiful Island a gracious holiday Season. Unfortunately this year we where unable to enjoy that island at the tip of the door; but next year? Have a beautiful winter; happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to one and all.
And the same to you Ed and Lynne! We missed you and look forward to your next class and visit. We send our wishes to you for peaceful and joyful holidays.
