From its website: “Founded in 1928 to conserve endangered species and educate the community, Hoyt Arboretum encompasses 190 ridge-top acres and 12 miles of hiking trails just minutes from downtown Portland. Home to 2,300 species of trees and shrubs from six continents, Hoyt Arboretum is a place of beauty and serenity no matter the season.”
This piece is Mary Meigs Atwater’s Botanical Garden, found in the Mary Meigs Atwater Recipe Book, published in 1957, which contains designs she created between the 1920’s and 1970’s. The original was woven in the Summer and Winter weave structure. Using the profile draft, Lynne chose to weave it on a single-unit drawloom in the 5-shaft satin weave structure, which required math to match the original aspect ratios. The warp and weft yarns are 10/2 mercerized cotton, with a sett of 30 epi.
