Finished Projects Come off of the Looms!
As predicted last week, there were a couple of warps finished today! Susan finished her placemat warp and Shirley finished the 6 yard fabric warp she had been working on.
Dana was winding hand painted wefts into center pull balls again today, we are glad to have her back with us! Kris was winding a towel warp, and I spent some time figuring out how much yardage is in these mini warps that came to us from Sharon's stash. (for the record there are 8 bouts of each color, each bout has 24 ends and they are 10 yards long. The red is in 8/4 and the white is 8/2)
Today we do have a little Show and Tell! Dana brought in an old endfeed textile shuttle that her son had found in an antique store, Karin brought in some reeds that her husband had cleaned up and I brought the special tape I had to finish the top and bottom, they look brand new! Karin also brought in a set of bowl cozies that she had recently finished sewing. Finally, do you remember the fabric that Betsy had woven at home a couple of weeks ago from odds and ends she had, well she had made a top out of the fabric! There is a little hand work to do , but you can see how nice it is!
I stayed a little over time this afternoon and I am glad I did! I overlapped with the evening rigid heddle group and found that one of the new students was an old friend of mine! We hadn't seen each other in ages! I also managed to take a picture of one of their projects on a really nice rigid heddle loom.
That is it for today friends. We will have more for you next week, until then this is Tina, for all!
