What weavers are saying about
 “Theme & Variation”

The life and work of Theo Moorman along with her philosophy and good judgment have inspired many weavers. This book offers the weaver who wishes to use free form design in wall hangings, rugs, clothing and other projects,

detailed instructions for achieving excellent results.—Jeanette MacMillan Pruiss, 50 years weaving, commission work. Terrace Park, OH.

There is a refreshing emphasis on experimentation and play throughout the book. I am delighted by the authors’ approach to design. While reminding us that we are all designers already, they invite us to explore our own ideas as we work through their playful, inviting and productive exercises.—Sarah Swett,

tapestry artist. Moscow, ID.
