One Warp a Winding, Two Warps cut off, Three Warps Dressing

The crisp spring morning was a welcome refreshment after a couple of toasty afternoons, and the perfect day to come to the Appalachian Arts Craft Center to get together with the other Tuesday Weavers! Another busy day in the studio today. We had projects starting, in progress and finishing! Shirley is winding 1/2 of a warp and rather that leave it on the warping board she will chain it off today and wind the other half the next time.

Two warps were cut off today, one was Jenny's warp, this is fabric for wraps. Next is Betsy with a towel warp.

Three warps being dressed. First JP has begun to pull his warp through the reed. (remember this was what JP calls a warp from H E double hocky sticks a couple of weeks ago!) and Rhonda and I got her towel warp onto the back beam today! It always makes me smile to see a fresh warp on the back beam all lovely and straight, no matter how much of a pain it was to get it there!!! The third project that is going onto a loom is one that Linda finished threading today but I didn't get any pictures of that one.

Liz #1 had to leave early today but I managed to get a picture of her and her towel project! I asked her what the pattern is and she said "Squares".

Now it is time for "Show and Tell", and have we got some!!! Laura and I have been working on 2 seperate commission pieces and we just happened to finish and bring them in on the same day!!!! Laura finished a special order of 6 placemats and 1 very long runner in Ellen's pattern and I finished a special order of 8 placemats and 1 runner in a Barley Corn pattern called "Rose Point".

Susan #3 brought in her "Dye day" project to show off, Patty brought in a Baby Blanket that she had made out of "Cotton Sprout" by Premier. It is so much softer than what we normally use! More than one weaver took a picture of the yarn lable! Mark brought in a rug that he had woven for Judith on the "Sisters" warp he has been weaving off of for awhile.

That is all I have for you this week, until next time this is Tina, for all!
