Handwoven by Kathy Hi! My name is Kathy Schwietz
I am a weaver. Blankets are my favorite to weave. I think everyone deserves a personal, soft & cozy blanket to wrap up in. Wow!

They not just functional; they are soft, sensual works of art that wrap you in cozy warmth. My name is Kathy Schwietz. I am a weaver. I have been weaving for 48 year now. I started in college as a fine arts student. My main interest was in woodworking, but the 1st time I sat at a loom, I knew I was a weaver. I built my 1st floor loom at 19 and have never stopped weaving. I cherish the intricate pr

ocess of threading my looms and weaving textiles. To me it is magical! To take one thread at a time, interweave it with hundreds or thousands of other threads, in any pattern, color or texture my mind can see. Once I have drafted my weaving, threaded my loom, wound my bobbins, put on some good ole rock n roll, I am ready to dance. This process is my favorite part. With each throw of the shuttle, my creation grows and comes to life. The rythmn of pushing the treadle, throwing the shuttle, beating the weft is a dance that I embrace and get lost in. I hope you enjoy my weavings as much as I love creating them! I weave in my home studio in Inlet Beach, Florida. I have 3 looms in production all the time.

Yay! It's gardening time!!
I am planting a cotton and natural dye plant garden this year. I have always gardened, but this is the 1st time planting cotton.

It's really just for the novelty of it. I not planning on a crop for production. I would need a farm. (Still dreaming!).

I am also planting Japanese Indigo, Madder, Marigold for natural dyes. I am welcoming other suggestions.

I am using Wool Nubbins For Gardeners from Lucky Us Farm! Excellent source of nitrogen and potassium NPK: 9-0-4.
