And, Elvis said......

 


   "a little less conversation, a little more action."

What the heck?????

Around here there's always a LOT of conversation and
a LOT of action!!!!

  Carl got right to work tying the fringes on the rugs we cut off the barn loom--there were six!  Two of them sold as soon as the fringes were tied!!!!



  Pat got right to work winding a new 16 yard warp for the barn loom.   This one will have navy and copper stripes.  Since Carl is a front to back warper, she wound all the navy first, and then started on the copper.  Carl can start threading next week.
  Anna's sister is visiting from California, and there were a lot of conversations going on with the weavers.


    Liz's towel warp is coming right along.  There was plenty of time for both conversation and action!!!!


















   Betsy found an error in the tie up on her warp, which was simple to fix.  Now she's ready to get going on her placemat warp.







  Carol jumped in to tie fringes, too.  As we finished a rug, Carol got them measured and tagged for the shop upstairs.


  Linda had a bunch of pictures to show us of her new grandson....he's precious!!!  You should see that head of dark hair!!!!  But, she was right back on her loom this afternoon. 
  Bonnie is making headway with that placemat warp...I bet they'll be finished in time for the Foothills sale.


  Marilyn is threading her sample warp.  She's returning to weaving after a few years away.  It seems that we always return to the things we love to do!















  Sharon got her sunset warp wound on, and she's ready to start threading.  She found a twill pattern that she really liked in the Dixon book.


  Now to the warp from *%?!!  Ray has the patience of a saint!  This a jack loom, but it doesn't want to raise three shafts....which you have to do when you are weaving doubleweave.  Ray has backed up to the beginning to trouble shoot the situation. 
  Conversation and action......both will be needed here!

Happy Weaving!
