Heirloom Fabrics

My grandmother (maternal) was a weaver and a storyteller. My aunt (her daughter) was a potter. My mother and another sister crocheted, so does my cousin. Perhaps if I post some of my creations here, in honor of my grandmother (the original artist as I see it in my generation), I am posting some of the clothes she had woven I cannot tell when (she died in 1976). These were done in the early 1930's according to my mohter. I've never seen her in the loom even in my childhood. Perhaps she had stopped weaving a long time ago when I was a child.

But here is a tribute to her intricate art.
