"Weaving with Echo and Iris"

I've just this minute received my copy of "Weaving with Echo and Iris" by Marion Stubenitsky.  I'm in heaven.  You might not hear from me for a long time. 

Marion explains in the Preface that Echo and Iris are mythological figures and also refer to echo threadings and iridescence.  Iris is the messenger of the gods as well as the personification of the rainbow.  It pretty much sums up a first glance in the book.

  4. You aren't kidding there. Even fanning the pages creates pattern on the edges.
    One thing it took me a bit to sort out, threadings start from the left.
