The Weaver's Dance

On a loom that whispers, with shuttles that fly
And bobbins that chatter as the hours go by
I'll not lay in one thread of mere chance
As I work in the motion of the weaver's dance.

I've been asked about Raggy Cat Pin Cushions and this photo shows some of them.  They are pin cushions that I designed several years ago.....I just HAD to because of my name!  At first, I thought I wanted to design something to use up scraps of handwoven fabric, but, in developing the Cats, I was having such fun with commercial fabric that I just kept making them from fabrics that I buy or that people give me from their stash.  The turquoise one with the beads was submitted to Fiber Arts Fiesta's 2007 Doll Exhibit and it won second prize! What a thrill that was!! I don't usually put beads on them or piece them because they would have to cost aLOT more than $15, if I added such time-consuming details in them!  So, there they are....my little Raggy Cat Pin Cushions!  Thanks for the interest and the comment!  I'm sending out Miles of Smiles.  Cat B.
