| selvages woven in a hoop--no foundation weaving |
to this:
The fabric was a thrift store find a couple of weeks ago and I didn't see the little village it held until I opened up the fabric at home. Need to decide how I want to stitch this. The selvaged weaving was tea dyed to tone down the white. Click on the photos for a closer view.

The village at the bottom is to die for, oh uh, what a great find. It looks better after tea dyed - Hugs Nat
What a nice surprise to unfold! Love your selvage Moon.
beautiful....it stands so proud too.
A village on the fabric, and a city on the moon...
Deanna, I once saw a bed size quilt made of nothing but selvages - quite amazing. Aren't they harder to stitch through?
this is a wonderful idea for weaving, so cleaver and a wonderful outcome!!
you mean to say, the village was already there
and you didn't realize this until getting
home?
i love what ger said! so true!
also, i bookmarked the link you shared.
that place is going to take some time.
much more that a "lookie see"
my head is swimming........
that's right cristina. what you're seeing was printed right on the fabric and was not discovered until i unrolled the fabric that was bundled with tape at the thrift store. i think i may embellish the houses with sheer fabric and stitches.
a great way to use us selvage bits and pieces deanna, and it looks just fantastic.
I can see that there has been a lot of weaving going on here in the last few weeks.

very nice.
What a nice surprise, the village. Isn't addictive to do the weavings?
Nice work Deanna...keep on blogging.
Hi Deanna,
what a lovely blog. how wonderful is that piece you found. i go into the charity shops just for that purpose. looking for fabric, buttons lace anything to do with fibre and handwork. i love the houses on the piece, and your use of selvedges is very clever. isn't wonderful to be retired? we get to do whatever we want.
