TW Challenge for 2023

 

Every once in a while, we create a challenge for our weavers.  This year we are weaving fabric for bowl cozies to sell in the shop and at shows.

  We went over some the particulars last week, and we did another preview today.  WELL....Patty couldn't wait!  She has already woven her cozies and sewed them together.





  Tina started her warp, too.  This is her sample:  she calls it Spring!!!








The weavers by the door got hot, so they opened the door for some fresh air.  Then they got right back to work!







  Shari is helping Candace warp her loom, but the break won't hold!!!!  Marie to the rescue with a big wrench.









Then Marie was off to help Phyllis with her warp.

  Patty is looking over the bowl cozies that we have so far.





Betsy is at the end of the second blanket.  Now what color for the weft?






Sharon is trying to get this scarf warp finished!!!!






  Carol checked in on Shari and Candace to see how the shawl warp was doing.





  Carol checked in on Kathy and Donna.  (Donna brought her own table loom.)




Laura is starting a new placemat.  The red fabric that she is using is a red-checked tablecloth.







Linda is playing loom chicken!!!  There were several short bouts of thread!  Now, what do you think she'll do with the longer bouts????


I hope your week is lovely!

Happy Weaving!

I had never heard of bowl cozies, but I'm intrigued. Do you have a photo of one in use by any chance?
