Thank You, Ms. Ila!

  Can you think of a better way to start September than one of Ms. Ila's cakes????  And, this one is an all time favorite:  old fashion stack cake!  She even used dried apples to make the filling!!!!  
  I knew I had better take this picture early, because it would disappear quickly....and I was right!  There was one wee sliver left at lunchtime....it went home with Ms. Ila!
  We are some lucky weavers!!!!












  Liz was back from her trip, and she had to spend a little time figuring out just where she was in the pattern. 
  (That happens to me when I get up and walk away for a bit....much less a few weeks!!!!)

  Carl told me that he would be cutting weft today, and he was right.  This also gave him some time with Pat before she leaves on her trip.  He was back to his loom later, just weaving away!
  You can see Betsy over Carl's shoulder.  She has been hard at work threading her placemat warp.

You can just catch Ray in the picture above.  He walked in this morning with his tool box, ready to do some repair work on the loom.  He does get serious about power tools!!!!!  The end result is that his double weave project is now a GO!

  Sharon will be cutting off her warp next week!  The last few inches of this scarf warp will become a cowl....we never waste warp!!!
  Frieda is still hard at work on her lovely blue scarf.












  Bonnie had that minute or two of deciding where she was in her pattern, also.  That's what happens when you miss some Tuesdays!!!





  Our other Bonnie was doing some UNweaving.  Yes, we all should develop that skill, too.  (And, it never fails....you don't see your mistake until a couple of rows down!)











   As promised, Linda started the yellow towels today.  It's a little difficult to see the pattern with the lighter weft.  Once they are wet finished, though, it should be easier to see.








    Alyce's towels are coming right along!  She'll have a bunch ready for the Foothills sale!













  Don't let that smile fool you!  Marie HATES to twist fringes!!!!  But, it has to be done......

  We all learn from each other.  Our newer weavers, Pearl, Jaid and Marion, have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes....and our accomplishments!  And, Carol is always there to guide us along the way.   We are so lucky!

Happy Weaving!
