Hi Shauna
Here is my finished piece, thank you so much for teaching the class. I really enjoyed learning the technique.

hmm, maybe this colors will show better with this one? Hard to make it look straight, it really is.

Oh my goodness! Is this the one that you were working on the second row yesterday morning? Amazing work and oh so fast. You definitely get a gold star for being a super student. Shauna will be so proud!

That's a beautiful piece of work. It looks like it would take a long time to make that.

Wow

That IS beautiful! Is it done on Monks cloth? And what are you going to do with it? The Monks cloth I have is VERY loosely woven and is great for pillows but Im not sure what else. Thanks for showing it.

Very pretty!! I wish I had taken that class, but there just wasn't enough time to take them all.

It is beautiful & looks like it would take a long time to do. You did a great job & yes, Shauna will be very pleased to see what you have done. WTG!!

very pretty. Looks like you learned so fun new things to do.

nice!!

Love it; I used to enjoy doing it.

You did a beautiful job!

I love swedish weaving..my first project was a baby blanket for my new grandson last novemeber..

Monks cloth comes in so many colors now, i have one called "potting soil" and a peach color.

Thank you! I was hoping the others would post their pieces as well. Shauna prepared Aida cloth for us to try on. I do have some Monks cloth that Ambher found at Joanns I want to try some type of Christmas design on it. The aidia is very stiff cloth and the monks is very soft and the weave is nice. You don't see stitching from the back on the Aida either. Really nice projects, Kim!

I like!

OK - here's my attempt to post a picture of my swedish weaving project. Great class!

Ladies such BEAUTIFUL work! Awesome! Looks like it was a great class!
I was in line behind a lady at JoAnns a few weeks ago that was purchasing some of the cloth for Swedish weaving...I had never heard of it...of course I was immediately interested all I need is another interest!
After seeing your pieces I am even MORE interested!! TFS

That's beautiful. It looks like you took instructions well from the class and made a beautiful piece.

Great job! I love them, I would like to know if there is a resource for the patterns you all used? Thank you, Jackie

beautiful kim

Gale

Good work ladies! You did that fast. Now I have something else on my bucket list to try. TFS

This Swedish weaving looks remarkably like what my grandmother used to do when she made her guest handtowels for the bathroom. Wish I knew what kind of fabric she used. (I want to @#@!#@$# with whoever got rid of her towels when she passed away).

Susan

She most likely used Huck Toweling

Never worked with it, i prefer the Monks cloth..which has approx. 7 stitches per inch. (bigger for my old eyes!) and you use yarn.

Great job at finishing the project. I showed it to Patty J , but will have to try to work on it later. Too much to do at this time. I am glad to see that some of you were able to finish the project. Sue

It was a very neat project. I am still working on mine. Will finish after I get home. I saw Sewlove2quilts finished one and it looks great.

I'm so tickled to see these! You all were such great students. Thank you for making it a fun class and thank you for taking my class. It's easy and fun to do. You all get gold stars!!! I hope you all continue to do Swedish weaving. Think Christmas!! I hear it's right around the corner!
I know Crazy got hers done and SDGanny is working on hers. Little Precious is on her light rows and is looking forward to teaching her Grandma Chicky. Isn't that great!!
Sorry I didn't get on here sooner- just got home last night! You all surprised me with this thread and I'm just beaming right now!
Thanks again for sharing your project. Going to do some laundry and more unpacking. How is it I came home with more then I brought??

That is so pretty! You guys did a really good job! What a great thing for Shauna to see all the projects! Awesome job teach!

Thank you Shauna,the projects are all so nice.Charlotte.

Those are pretty!

Shauna showed me how to do it and it is addicting. Haven't had a lot of time but will finish soon. Yours are all so pretty.

Precious came to spend the night last nite and didn't bring her big project ... She had to teach her G'ma how to do the Swedish weaving, and then decided she wanted to play, so she made herself this bookmark, and used her own pattern! She's so very talented ... and Crafty... she made a GREAT teacher!

Wow! Look at her go!! Way to stitch Precious!!

Kudos for Precious.

Kim thanks, the huck toweling does look like what my grandmother used. However the toweling colors were light green, pale yellow, pale peach, pale blue, etc. I loved them and thought they were so unique. Shame I do not know where they went.

Susan

Finished my swedish weaving project. Thanks Shauna. Precious- yours is very pretty.

Precious and SDgranny- your Swedish Weeving is beautiful. What a great job you both did. Congrat's. Sue

uh oh.... So, do I see something else I need to learn in my near future??? hmmmmm... (love the bookmark!!!!)

Prcious, your bookmark is lovely and what a neat design. SDgranny, yours turned out beautiful too. Now I have to get over to Sues' and get that knot I put in hers out so she can try and finish it.

Hi PattyJ. Now why did you put a knot in Sister Sues' project? Do I have to keep an eye on you now? LOL!! Miss you.

Granny your place mat is gorgeous! And Precious did really well. I knew she would. She's an artist in the making. Someone should get that girl a cross stitch kit!!!

You all have done well!! Pleas keep posting pictures and I really hope you try making something else! You all have the basics now. You can do it.

What beautiful work you all did on that Swedish weaving. Oh Precious, yours is great & to think you just made up that pattern & had to teach G'ma how to do that weaving. Good job my friend.

I'm lovin the pictures. Precious, that's a pretty bookmark! I enjoyed the class and got a couple more rounds finished. Now, I've found the project, just to find the bag with the pattern and threads to finish it!! Then I'll try to figure out how to post pictures. Thanks again Shauna

those are just beautiful!!! i have a best friend who's family is from Ukraine and she does lovely hand work. I don't have the patience. wish i did!

Found a nice Swedish Weaving piece, 16x16, today at a charity resale shop. It caught my eye as is so attractive, and now b/c of your class, I was able to identify the proper name. The back side is not as neatly finished as presented in the class, but now it's even more appreciated. It's an overall three color design, and skips just one row throughout. No pics tho; possibly later.
