Kath's Weavings

I will miss Kathlyn.  Jer's Grandmother, Phil's Mom and my very dearest friend for well over 40 years.  My passion for weaving dwindled many years ago altho my love of woven items remains strong.  Kathlyn on the other hand began to weave shortly after I did and she never looked back.  She was an accomplished and prolific weaver.  Over the years she made hundreds of rugs, runners, hand towels, dishcloths, placemats, napkins, table clothes, shawls, pieces of yardage, diddy bags and so much more.  She was generous with gifts of woven articles to her family, extended family and friends.  She participated in many arts and crafts shows and fairs.  I have several of her weavings which I will cherish and enjoy.  I brought home another one of Kath's rugs from Phil and a few more hand towels and dishclothes.  They are beautiful and I am blessed to have had known Kathlyn and now to remember her whenever I wrap myself in one of her shawls or step out of bed onto one of her soft rugs, not to mention drying the dishes with one of Kath's delicate linen or cotten towels.  A lady of opinions; well read and knowledgeable.  Idealistic in her politics.   Sharp edges that blurred into kindness and caring.  Scrabble player extraordinaire.
