About Me
- Sandra Rude
- I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.

Mike,
My condolences for your loss. May she RIP.
I am so sorry, Mike. She was always so generous with her laughter and her knowledge. I will miss her.
Sandra was very kind to me and I will cherish the weaving she gave me in 2011. Sending hugs to you.
I am so sad to hear this. Sandra was a joy to be with and had i so enjoyed conversations with her. My sincerest condolences to you, Mike and to the family.
Dear Mike,
So sorry to hear that Sandra has passed away but glad that she was home with you and that it happened in her sleep. She will truly be missed but her inspiration and guidance for so many of us will certainly live on. She will also live on in all the amazingly beautiful and creative textiles that she lovingly created for all these years. She is now free from her ailing earthly body and I can see her happily flying around the universe unhindered. She will be keeping an eye on you and the family and sending love your way. Take all the time that you need to grieve while holding onto those sweet memories. Our hearts go out to you and the whole family.

P.S. "The Sky Loom" a Tewa Prayer for well being - popped into my head so I will share it here.
Oh our Mother the Earth, Oh our Father the Sky,
Your children are we, and with tired backs
We bring you the gifts that you love.
Then weave for us a garment of brightness;
May the warp be the white light of morning,
May the weft be the red light of evening,
May the fringes be the falling rain,
May the border be the standing rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of brightness
That we may walk fittingly where birds sing,
That we may walk fittingly where the grass is green,
Oh our Mother the Earth, Oh our Father the Sky.
Oh, Mike. I'm so very sorry to hear this. And I'm glad she was able to be home with you, albeit briefly. She was such an incredible artist and so generous with her weaving knowledge. As a weaver, I am forever in her debt. Wishing you peace.

So sorry to hear this, Mike, but grateful that she is at peace. Sandra was one of my earliest mentors and I enjoyed every minute I spent with her. I will miss her. Hugs and condolences to you.

Please accept my deepest condolences, Mike. Sandra was, to me, a fellow Oberlinian, a fellow cellist, a fellow weaver, and a wonderful, warm-hearted person.
Dear Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sandra has been one of my inspiring lights, not just in weaving (tho that is huge) but also in her accounts your travels together.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,
Jami
Dear Mike, am so so sorry to hear this but am glad she was home with you. Sandra was such a guide to so many of us and so very generous in sharing her knowledge and helping, guiding other weavers along. May she rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to you, her family and friends.
Condolences Mike. Sandra was a wonderful inspiration to our weaving world.
My deepest condolences, Mike. She will be missed. Every interaction I had with her led me to work to become a better weaver and a kinder person. Her influence will travel further than we can imagine. So many have been touched by her personality and inspired by her skill.
I am so sorry. I knew Sandra only through her blog, but it was a source of joy and inspiration.
My best wishes for you on the road ahead Mike. Sandra will always be remembered and sorely missed by everyone who knew her, whether in person or through her blog. She will continue to be an inspiration.

Condolences to all the family. A sad sad time for the weaving community
Dear Mike,
We all lost a dear weaving friend, but you lost the love of your life. The words are hard to find. In time, smiles and memories will replace the tears.
I will treasure my Jacquard weaving Sandra wove up for me. She was so kind and generous in all our phone and email exchanges.
Susan Harvey
I am so sorry for your loss, Mike. I only knew Sandra online, but we did a couple of weaving/dyeing projects together. She was a lovely person and she'll be missed sorely. Prace and love to you.

I am so sorry. I never said much here but she has been such an inspiration to me. May your memories be a comfort to you at this time and for all the time to come.
Today I wanted to be inspired and I remembered the first design I saw of Sandra, it was spectacular! I looked for her again on her blog and now I find out what happened, I live far away and it hurts a lot that a great artist is no longer present. I would have really liked to even meet her. It only remains for me to remember her creations. A big hug Sandra. Thanks.
Mike, my condolences for your loss. I wish I had known Sandra, but I'm a new weaver and our paths did not cross. I'm grateful you've left her weaving blog up where I can learn from her. Her memories are indeed a blessing.
