This runner is based on the Belle Creole bed scarf in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of Handwoven Magazine & inspired by the brightly colored textiles I’ve seen from Mexico, thanks to Mary Anne Kluger. I had the bright idea to go crazy with color, which was completely outside my comfort zone. While it was on the loom, I kept questioning my bright idea. When I finally finished it, I was glad I tried something different & am very pleased with it. 10/2 mercerized cotton (UKI dark Sierra) was used for the ground cloth & I doubled the 10/2 for the pattern.
