Did you see on Facebook ( and also in a comment on my latest post) I posted a video about an amazing embroidery project on the Magna Carta? It fits so well with your Arachne post.
No! I haven’t even looked at Facebook in awhile! I’ll check it out!
Wow!! That’s so amazing! I love everything about it . . . oh my.
I was SO EXCITED about it. I wonder if it will be taken on tour? Also when I saw the way they were embroidering the words I thought about your quilt project where you printed and then embroidered the words.
Yes! I thought the same thing–love the idea of special words, no matter where! And I also thought of the Great Tapestry of Scotland–embroidery is certainly alive and well in the UK! Are you going to do a blog post about this? If not, maybe I will try to . . . not sure I can do it justice, though.
No, I won’t be doing a blog post on it. So please do. I am sure you could do it justice. The Great Tapestry of Scotland was brilliant too. Did you post about that or did I see it somewhere else?
Oh yes, let me help you out here………I have a friend who has had a warp on the loom for ‘years’
with a cat sleeping on it and who is she to disturb a cat ! LOL And…..I would like to see that pattern more clearly please and thank you!
I had a cat who did the same thing with my quilt frame–I never got any quilting done! If I ever finish the coasters on the loom in the photo, maybe I’ll show them. It’s a Monk’s belt pattern and it has given me fits. Everyone says Monk’s belt is so easy but it hasn’t been for me!
Hmmm, Charley says that even with one eye, she spots this creature is not to be trusted. I think, it looks rather critical…were you weaving a new cushion for him/her? xo Johanna
Hmmm . . . I think Charley may have a hard-wired bias against cats! Roxie (the cat) wouldn’t look twice at anything I made for her. It’s only the things she shouldn’t touch that interest her!
Easiest cat in the world. She’s diabetic so I do ear pricks to check blood sugar twice a day and also give insulin injections. She doesn’t blink.
Cute! S/he looks a bit annoyed. Are you actually trying to weave? Monksbelt is lovely but the selvedges are tricky. I’m in Gatlinburg and saw some finely woven scarves yesterday with Perfect selvedges! Perfect. They give me fits, particularly with something like monksbelt. Looks good so far. 😼
Purrfect! sorry, I could not resist that)
I love the way that our cats love to come so close when we are sewing, weaving or reading the paper! It helps I think. And that is one gorgeous cat!
Roxie says thank you very much for noticing her great beauty! One of my other cats is right beside me now, purring like a fool and keeping me company as I read blogs.
My cat Lindy (we have three) always looks annoyed in photos, though she’s one of the easiest going cats you could hope to meet. I love the name Roxie. It looks like a good fit.
Cute! Hope the cat’s whiskers don’t get woven into the piece.
I guess it would serve her right!

“Don’t touch that treadle!”
Right! This is one of her favorite spots!
What a cutie! 🙂 Lucky you to have such lovely helping paws. ❤
Yes, she’s always willing to help!
The cat weaves while you sleep at night 🙂
As if! I only wish she was that helpful!
Heehee 🙂 They’re always so “helpful”, aren’t they!
oh, oh! kitty claws and warps are not a good mix.
She’s in this spot, under the table loom, all the time and she has never once (yet) messed with the threads.

It’s always nice to have “help”, isn’t it?
Oh, yes–and they’re so generous with their time!
What a lovely assistent you’ve got over there!
She thinks you’re very clever, to see that she’s a pretty girl!
Your assistant is precious!
She thinks so, too! She’s quite a princess.

so typical cats, Charey says, she would hug and cherish your wrks of arts, she lets you know ;0)
Hmm. Hope he (she?) doesn’t get his claws into it.
She’s under that loom all the time and she hasn’t touched the bobbin or loose threads at all–how can she even call herself a cat?!
ExtrEMELY well behaved. She’s been well schooled!

She was annoyed because I was trying to get her out from under the table loom–she thinks it’s her special place!
What a face! What a picture!
She looks a little cranky, huh? I was trying to get her to move!
Mine tries to sit ON the weaving. I have learned the hard way I can’t leave it out on the table.

Nice name, Roxie! Everything is better when it is shared with a purring cat.
Oh my goodness, look at that sweet little face. Love this.
My Roxie does have the sweetest face–although she looks a little miffed in this photo. She didn’t want to leave her hidey spot.
