All the Colors of the Rainbow

This morning I brought in a sample card from Maurice Brassard yarns. Marie and I poured over all of the pretty colors, 81 to be exact. We have many colors of weaving cotton on hand but this brand has some shades that we do not have, but we need to see if there is a discount for large orders.
While I was looking at the orders I caought sight of the colors we already have on the looms here at the Weaving Center of the Appalachian Arts Craft Center in Norris,TN. These warps are a lot of different items, at different stages in the warping/weaving process. There are Scarves,Shawls, towels, blankets and bowl cozies. Are you ready?
Now it is time for Show and Tell! Marilyn had been seeing a knitted Chicken online and just had to try the pattern, she loves it! Carol finished the edging on Phyllis's crochet bedspread (that her Aunt had almost finished), once it gets a good wash she will put it on a bed at her house.
Liz brought in her latest Baby blanket and Shannon found in her stash a Crown Price-O-Matic that was used during the depression to calculate how much to charge for mending clothes.
Laura brought in a shawl that she had finished with a french seam, and Patty brought in a shawl warp she had cut off last week and a towel that combines point twill and bumberte.
One more colorful warp that is still on the board!
That is it for this week, as always this is Tina, for all!

I love Marilyn's chicken! And I love all of these glorious warps. There is something so fascinating about seeing the arrangement of colors on the loom, waiting to become fantastic fabric.
