I just looked at the Website for the Weavers Guild of Rochester and found out that the Overshot Throw I had put in the 65th Anniversary Guild Exhibit won the People's Choice Award. I was so surprised to find out. I am still in AZ and had someone pick up my pieces for me when they took the show down. The guild is also printing a book of the exhibit which will include a photo of my throw as well as the draft, if I ever get it written down correctly. Here is a link to the page on the guild website. The first piece pictured on this page is a huge overshot bedspread by Helen Jarvis, my teacher and the woman who literally wrote the book on Overshot. http://www.amazon.com/Weaving-Traditional-Coverlet-How-Book/dp/0934026432
The second piece on the page is mine. You can see pictures of the overshot weaving in progress in earlier posts on my blog.
