Next week I’ll be doing something a little bit different … I’ll be presenting pin-loom weaving at the International Quilt Festival 2025 in Houston!
A few weeks ago, Quilt Festival’s Bob Ruggiero interviewed me, and you can read about it on the Friends@Festival website.
The interview resulted in two amazing opportunities for me to talk about pin-loom weaving and how I use this yarn craft to create quilt-inspired projects:
I will be showcasing my work at the Open Studio (Create section) on Thursday, October 9th, from 2 – 4 pm. This includes a one-and-only opportunity for you to see my Flower Garden Throw that was published in “Easy Weaving with Little Looms” Winter 2025 right next to the original Depression-aera Grandmother’s Flower Garden quilt that inspired my work.
Saturday, October 11, 2025 is the official “I Love Yarn” day, and I cannot thing of a better way to celebrate than to invite you to weave a little something with yarn.
I will be hosting a Make-and-Take event at the brand-new Sit & Stitch Lounge. Come and sit down and I’ll teach you how to weave a hexagon (using the sample looms at the table), and you will take home a little bag charm. I have Make-and-Take kits prepared to make a little pumpkin charm as pictured (free of charge, while supplies last). I will also have a variety of yarns available for you to sample, or feel free to bring your own!
Over the next few days, I will blog about some of the projects that I’ve made to celebrate the Festival, including the table topper that was inspired by this year’s Festival logo.
I invite you to subscribe to this blog so that you don’t miss any of those stories!
CONGRATULATIONS Gabbi! What a wonderful opportunity to introduce your fantastic looms! I have enjoyed working with them for years. You are so creative, I am always in awe of your creations.
Thank you for your kind comment, Sarah!
I wish that l could be there as you have probably realise that l love trying to convert quilts patterns to pin loom quilts
As a subscriber to the blog, you already have a “first row seat” to everything that is happening … past, present and future!
I shall enjoy reading more about this Gabi. Quilt inspired weaving is right up my street.
Oh, Frankie, your comment is very encouraging, thank you! (I’m writing the next blog about converting a quilt pattern for pin-loom weaving and hope to finish/post today)
