Working drawings and instructions cover such topics as: weaving a weft tie, carved pile, a border on tapestry, a warp/screen, a two-faced pad; joining selvedges, warp ends, and edges of a pillow; weaving and assembling a baby's swing, a weaver's bag that doubles as a baby carrier, and a puff pillow or quilt. Descriptions of guild activities, which form another part of a weaver's craft-live, are also included. Description text copyright 2011 www.BooksForComfort.net. Item ID 25241.
