Congratulations to CREATIVE CONFINEMENT Winners and Finalists.
All of the entries can be reviewed at the links following the Winners and Finalists details. The competition had 2 parts – the OVERALL competition that included 160 entries from 13 guilds and the CHG competition with 69 entries and was restricted to CHG members.
The BEST IN SHOW for each competition was selected by Kathrin Weber of Blazing Shuttles who is also a show sponsor. Category winners were selected by popular vote. Thanks so much to Kathrin. Please take your time reviewing some very spectacular entries from our sister guilds in the southeast on this page and by following the link below.

Ginkgo Curtains
BEST IN SHOW – OVERALL COMPETITION
Artist: Teresa Edmisten
Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild
Ginkgo leaves are special to my husband and me. When he suggested the curtains for the study incorporate them, I got busy sketching. The pattern is not repeated from top to bottom – definitely what computer dobby looms are made for.
This is the first of 4 curtain panels – each 48″ x 96″. The weave structure is diversified plain weave with 18/2 cottolin and sport weight Euroflax linen at 18 EPI and PPI. There are 30 pattern shafts. The draft is 2100 picks long and was sketched on an iPad then converted to a profile draft from an image, and then, ultimately the full draft.
