Dreamthreads by Michele O’Reilly

I had the pleasure of learning to weave in 1997 when my Aunt Tilly chose me to be the next owner of her Union Rug Loom.  That was only the beginning of many looms and many pounds of threads...

I was very fortunate to find the 2-B Weavers who began my wonderful journey with weaving and textiles. 

I enjoy dyeing my yarns and then weaving the fabric to be made into one-of-a-kind garments, shawls and scarves.

I love working with microfibers, as well as the more traditional linen, cotton, silk, and wool.

I am very fortunate to be a member of 2 guilds in the Chicago area, and a wonderful Arts Center.

Illinois Prairie Weaving Guild

Weavers Guild of the North Shore

as well as

The Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St. Charles.
