Has anyone seen a woven quilt or a frame to make one?

The pattern I know I posted here somewhere is strips of fabric with batting already in them and then they are woven on a board frame. Simple but specific instructions how to hold the weaves together and finishing the quilt. I'm still looking. Found the name of the magazine though, American Quilt Retailer.

Okay found the info about the pattern. But can't find the pattern. LQS had the pattern as a freebie time ago. I may still have it somewhere. This magazine is great. It's geared toward quilt shop owners but has all the fantastic patterns that shops use for sample quilts for the shops. Most say copies of the pattern can be copied to use for a shop freebie, or used in classes, but not for sale.

This link was very helpful. The corkboard picture is great. It is starting to make sense.
-Thanks,

In addition, if you place a sheet of lightweight fusible interfacing on the base before you start your weaving (glue side up, obviously) you can press your woven pattern in place once you've finished your design.
