I'm sorry I haven't replied before now.
I did make the 2 from my own design. I had to do them on squared graph paper but I don't have them now. I made them a long time ago & have lost the papers & other stuff through moving over the years. The worse thing I've lost is parts of one of my tapestry stands! I don't mind he you copy the designs. Do you have one of the newer larger looms? I only had a small one but it served its purpose. I did in to a shop & ask if they would sell them for me but I was told they could only sell them for less than £5 ! I decided not to bother because as you know you put so much time into setting a loom & the hours it takes. |

[/qOv Over the years I have designed some of my patterns and also found others online or in books.. Sometimes I will find a pattern and then change it to suit me.. I have both a larger and small loom and yes, it takes a lot of work and time to just get started.. I found that I enjoy bead weaving a lot more just for that reason. Haven't done much with any of that for a while but want to start again..I'm hoping to take a silversmithing class sometime soon..I like to make my own jewelry as I like things that are a little different from what's in the stores..I did make most of the jewelry for my granddaughters wedding this past June and everyone loved it... |

Christina, are you not able to replace the parts for your tapestry stand? Maybe I could help you locate the parts here...

Thank you for the offer. :-) we have a good craft shop in town & they are able to help. Good luck with the silversmith classes. I do envy you. If I could in back in time it is the one thing I would have done. A case of, if I knew then what I know now! I can't bead weave now because of game problems caused by a job I used to do but I had to earn money. I can do mailling because it's not so fiddly.
