Sunny & Bright!

  If Roz is at weaving, then it is always lively!  Outside it was rainy and gray...inside the studio it was all sunny and bright with all the creativity.
  Roz spent the morning working on small wall hangings using leftover pieces of handwoven material.  I think she was having a great time!!!
  Frieda got in some weaving time on her scarf warp (when she wasn't supervising Roz!)









  The new bookcase is now in place behind Carl's loom!  Just what we needed for the overflow of books (and we're always adding to our library.)  Thank you, Polly, for a job well done!










 Linda dropped by to get some expert help from Tina on her new slotted heddle.  Together they figured out the pattern.



 Liz begun weaving on the towel warp.  This is her first project in the Studio on a floor loom.










  Ray has taken over the Studio Rug loom.  He's using up some of the plaid wool fabrics that have been donated to the Center.  We forgot to tell him that this loom likes to walk, which Ray found out rather quickly!!!  He found the boards under the loom that keep it from pushing you into the wall!






  Sharon is working on her scarf with the M&W pattern.  The secret of this structure is just tapping the weft in!











  Christy is back at work on joining more blue jean legs for Carl's rugs.  That means we'll be cutting more strips very soon!


Ms. Ila and Bonnie had the back row to their selves today.  Ms. Ila is busy with her new shawl warp, which has lots and lots of colors.

Ms. Ila suggested adding a shiny blue thread to the dark blue weft for Bonnie's reweave shawl.  I think it works, don't you????


  The closer Linda gets to the end of her warp, the more little hiccups crop up!  Those loose threads just beg for attention!!!!  After lashing on last week, Helen is weaving on this forest green warp.  Could this be her favorite color????


 The brightest time of our day was celebrating Carl's 92nd birthday, which will be tomorrow!  He admits that weaving is the key to a long life!!!  He sure brings the sunshine into our lives!

Happy Birthday, Carl!!!

Happy Weaving to all........

A 92nd birthday is certainly chocolate cake worthy. Happy Birthday from Oregon!
