Here We Go, Again!



  Welcome to Mary...our newest weaver!  I heard that she has been reading our blog, and now she is part of our little community!
  She got her yarn chosen, and the warp is wound.  Next week she will start the process of dressing the loom.
  Let the fun begin!!!!















 
  Marilyn continues to work on her sampler warp.  Those weaving skills she already had are coming back to her!



Carl got busy on his new rug warp this morning.  (Remember...he warps front to back!)  The copper stripes came first.
  By the end of the day, he was finished sleying the reed.  That means he'll be threading the heddles next week.





  Pearl was having difficulty with the yellow warp on the new Ashford loom.  Carol thought that rewinding the warp using paper on the warp beam would be just the ticket to correct the problem.











 Jocelyn was back with us today.  She and Anna had some time to catch up with all that has happened in the last few weeks.







  Liz was back with us, also.  Those towels will look great at our booth at the Foothills sale.





Helen is working on the Wolf Pup.  That's a scarf warp that she's finishing. 







Shirley has started the threading on her warp.  She settled on a 2-2 twill for her scarves.
 





   Whoa.....wait just a minute!  What is this????

An empty row of weaving benches!!!!!!















Ms. Ila said they were slackers!!!  The Ladies were ALL hard at work on their looms!!!!!!!


  Betsy has finished the first placemat on her warp.  We're all gearing up for that fall sale!


















  Marie and Pat have been weaving at home....Pat is trying to use up her stash, and came with this big stack of placemats and table runners.  Marie is building up her stock for the shop and the fall sale.



  Marie also hemmed Tina's napkins (Tina blogged about these a few weeks ago.)   Tina dropped by to pick them up this morning.














  And.....guess what else Marie did?????
She and Ray put together a new display feature for the shop upstairs!!!!  (We need one of these for the Foothills sale!)





 
  I think you deserve a gingersnap, Marie!!!! 
Lucky us.....Sharon baked us a fresh batch....and they were wonderful.
  Thank you, Sharon!

I think I need some of what Marie is taking.....................


Stay tuned........
