We are not sure where this challenge came from. "Textured Rhythm" as usual had some wild variations. Terry tried using various textured weft in this hanging. He even trew in a seed pod that he brought back from a trip to Puerto Rico. Katy showed these terrific placemats. Just love the huck hearts. Very interesting using the warp full width of the mat. This is not the usual way they are constructed but it allows for the hearts to be positioned correctly. Carol used up some of her stash. Love the rhythm of the orange weft. . A really stunning use of color. Every thing is working so well together. Claudia kuksed an inlay technnique to create these musical notes. It took some trials to get it just right but it really works here. Wow!
