As I read the catalog detailing the pieces in the L’Amour de Maman exhibit collection and telling the story of the Acadian people and their textiles, I was inspired to weave a set of dish towels as a tribute to these strong and resilient people. I hope you will make a pot of gumbo, put on your favorite zydeco music, and weave some Cajun-inspired dish towels. Enjoy!
