Window blind sample – Narrow and wide sticks as warp. Weft stripes of browns, creams, orange, yellow, gold and black yarns. Alice Mattil made several samples (see related objects) of placemats and window blinds. A note with the objects reads, I did many placemats and window blinds for family and friends. I experimented for weavings using natural Kansas materials.
