Comments for The TikkunTree Project http://thetikkuntree.wordpress.com A community art project: growing peace stitch by stitch Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:28:57 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Links by Phyllis Hollenbeck http://thetikkuntree.wordpress.com/links/#comment-270 Phyllis Hollenbeck Mon, 06 Apr 2009 22:28:57 +0000 http://thetikkuntree.wordpress.com/links/#comment-270 Dear Tikkun Tree Friends, The improved version of the Pillow Loom- (click on Pillow Loom II) is now, mostly, available at www.weavingtravel.com. I still need to add some text, edit, correct some spelling but the 95% is up. We start the foundation of our new house tomorrow so finding this time slot in my busy, high tech husbands mental window was not to be passed up. One thing I need to add is to explain that the clip board is used to provide a choice of visual back drop colors to aid with the visual contrast of the yarns. The board also keeps the pillow from poking into the weaving. Please enjoy and share. Shalom, Phyllis Dear Tikkun Tree Friends,
