Woven Table Runner

The last house my parents lived in, before downsizing into a condo, had a large back porch - uninsulated - with large windows. 

Looking for a photo of the porch, I could only find this picture of the front yard.

In that porch stood a large weaving loom on which my mother wove rustic tablecloths and tea-towels.

Whenever I went home for a visit, I’d play around on the loom. I wove a few simple things - the most useful of which is this striped table runner.

I’ve used it a lot over the years - and it invariably reminds me of the fun I had sitting and weaving it in my mother’s back porch.
