5 out of 5 starsCall me, Ms. Piggy......I was soooo impressed by my first order from Martha, that I just had to return for more! Yep! She is consistent: her chosen color combinations, weaving and background fabric, are lovely and her weaving is “quality plus”. Beyond that her mitered corners make me drool, they are so perfect! If that isn’t enough, my order arrived promptly....free shipping...beautifully presented with paper, ribbon and a “thank you” sticker"....and, wait for it: she thoughtfully enclosed a beautiful card so meaningful to me. Honestly, I consider Martha to be an outstanding representative for Etsy. She runs a “Top Shop”. Fortunate are those who call her “friend”.....I know now, first hand. You won’t be disappointed making a purchase from ThistleRoseWeaving ...you’ll be blessed, and glad you did from this remarkable woman!

5 out of 5 starsThis towel is exactly what I wanted! I was looking specifically for cottolin towels (because cottolin is the BEST for kitchen towels) and this towel is beautifully handwoven!

5 out of 5 starsMartha, your photo doesn't do this towel justice. It is so beautiful. And, as always, your weaving is superb! Turn around time from when I ordered was really speedy too. And I love your enclosed notecard gift. Thank you so much. Vicki

Welcome to my weaving studio!
My weaving studio can be a zen like place to work. Some days classical music softly plays in the background. On other days a quiet silence with only the sounds of birds or our Highland cows softly moving about outside my windows to disturb the peace. The gentle swish of the shuttle and the quiet thump of the loom's beater as each thread is bumped into place while I weave gives me a chance to reflect on the day and my thoughts.
In the studio my work mates are Pepper a black Standard poodle and Jack our three-legged rescue Goldendoodle. Both dogs not only keep the carpet on the floor from flying into space they are also accomplished weaving supervisors with many years of experience under their collars. Standard Poodles and Goldendoodle dogs do not shed which is a plus for a weaver who works with fibers and yarns.
My studio has two looms that are almost always warped with a project that is in the process of being woven. Many bookcases full of weaving books, yarn - lots of yarn, weaving shuttles and collections of various things that catch my fancy give me inspiration and materials to draw from.
The driving need to create something with my own two hands has always guided me through the learning process of teaching myself to weave. Without access to formal weaving programs I am proud to say I am a self-taught weaver.
Thistle Rose Weaving is my passion, my delight and a way for me to express and share my love for the traditional arts.
Welcome to my studio.
