Another loom with a story! Thelma Louise Nixon was quite a weaver, according to her children. And this loom is a testament to that fact! Her kids, Kim & Nick and grandson, James, thought that the Center would be a great place for this LeClerc 45" Nilus. We all agree. Thank you! After moving looms just last week, we moved things around again today to make a place for her, and it will be put to work very soon. Pat & Alan got her just where she needed to be!Elsewhere at the Center today, Lanny & Maggie are working on a project using the notebook he made from the workshop he took last summer. He wove some beautiful plaids, and Maggie is always looking for a new challenge. This is Networking at its best!
And, supervising the controlled chaos is Carl....he calmly watches, listens, and gets a lot of weaving done. He's our "go-to" guy when we have a weaving question. We're all so glad he's back with us!!!!
Now, for the applause: Maggie cut off the warp on her loom today!!!! Cheers!!!! That warp make some spectacular placemats and runners. (But, secretly, Maggie was ready for it to be gone....too much of a good thing!) I can't wait to see what's next for her.
As always, lots of laughin' and yakkin' and great fellowship (and a little weaving, too!) Tuesdays are a good thing!

p.s. We sure did miss Tina today!
Too much yakkin' for me today. But sometimes you just have to do that. Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI missed being there with you, but we got a lot done today. That loom looks great! can't wait to see her in person.
ReplyDeleteThe new loom looks great in the studio. I can't wait to see who gets to weave on it first! It's going to be a wonderful work horse!

Secretly? I didn't make it a secret to ANYONE!! BEIGE!!! give me COLOR! Playing musical looms brings me back to Linda's luscious colorful warp. Thanks, Linda! All the way home, I thought about the next weft for that warp! And Thelma Louise will be made right at home. Thanks to Bonnie for persevering through the reorganization. Too bad we didn't get a photo of her weaving while standing!
