Winter blues

 Seems like I'm forever doing blues.

Blue jean rugs are a staple.

Popular with my buyers.

Easy to source materials.

Durable.

Good thing I like 'em.

This time around I happened to also be doing the blues on the table runner warp.

Photos just don't work that well in the winter.  The light is flat if it's a sunny day.

And if the sun's not shining, it is just too dang dark to get a good photo.

The runner shown is from a vintage table cloth.  It had a pattern that I 'managed' so it ended up with a pattern of it's own in it's new life.

The blues are done on the table runner warp - I'm doing a short run of mug rugs. 

As much as I really don't like making them, (too piddly)

I had many requests for them last year after I was out of them.

The Union Loom tho, is rewarped in blues for a special order.  I needed a width of 28 inches,

so I'm doing a run of those, too.  Just getting started on that. 

The winter blues are knocking on my mental door, too.   This time of year is a challenge for me.

All for now,

Finally some finishes

 re'New x 2.  This rug is a mix of recycled denim jeans, 

and a denim jean rug that needed refreshing.

Here's a cute little rug made from a terry cloth tablecloth.

 A striped rug made from assorted bed sheets.

Many more rugs in the blue colorway also finished up,   Photos of each are on my facebook page.

Since this batch the blue warp has been woven off with a couple of longer runner style denim rugs and one other random one of a kind rug.

I also finished the blue tablerunner warp.  Those are being fringe tied now.  

One loom is being warped for 28 inch wide blue rugs, and the other is doing tandem mug rugs,

All for now,

JULIE
