Historic tablet weaving

I have really enjoyed being a member of Facebook's Historic Tablet Weaving list and being inspired by the weaving of so many other people!

I wove almost three yards of 16/2 linen, which I am going to sew to a medieval dress.

This first one shows the wooden cards I use in different colors. They all have a strong grain, so I can tell where I should be without the ABCD labeling of modern cards.
And this has more of the repeat. The background is one of the natural cotton towels I showed in another post. The pattern is from Applesies and Fox Noses: Finnish Tabletwoven Bands by Maikki Karisto and Mervi Pasanan--a fabulous book with medieval designs and ones inspired by them.
