And here they are, the fruits of my labour. My 32" Ashford needs to take a little nap now, and it deserves it. March Mat-ness 2025 was a success.

And... I made it! Scrappy mat no. 12 of March Mat-ness is off the loom with 3.5h to spare. Woo hoo!

The penultimate mat of March Mat-ness. Just one more to go, and it's a good thing, too because I'm running out of scrap and thrifted fabrics in my stash.

March Mat-ness no. 11 is on the loom! I may make it to my goal of 12 after all. This one makes me long for Spring and Summer flowers.

I found some more jersey, so decided to make another chunky mat. Weaving this way has a completely different set of challenges than my other mats; I'll be happy when this one is done and off the loom. March Mat-ness continues.

I find it funny that this mat is starting to look very nautical, but the only ships involved are tie fighters and x-wings in the print. (I know, nerd.). March Mat-ness continues.

No. 7 of March Mat-ness. I try to stay away from using too much white in my scrappy mats, but I always love watching how a colourful print ends up pooling on the loom. Today's mat brought to you by My Little Pony. (The name of my OG Pony was Seashell.)

I still have to take care of tying the fringe, but no. 6 is off the loom and I'm officially half way to my goal for March Mat-ness! I may have to keep this one.

For today's March Mat-ness mat I'm using doubled up t-shirt strips with my custom made heddle. The result is a chunkier, heavier mat. I hadn't made one like this in a while and had forgotten how much I like the result.

I'm at the midway point of March Mat-ness and here are the fruits of my labour. 5 down, 7 (if I can manage it) to go.

It's finally starting to feel a little more like Spring with these colours. March Mat-ness no. 5 is on the loom. Happy Friday!
