Sunny Day

  After our week of rainy weather (and flooding on Saturday,) we have been enjoying some lovely sunny days.  Of course, it is always "sunny" in the studio!!!
  Is that a forehead smack, Pat????
We were gifted with several large bags of wool cloth from a braided rug maker.  Carol is thinking that Carl can weave some wool rugs on his next warp.  In the meantime, these bags have to go somewhere..............


  Welcome to our newest weavers:  Leslie and Laura!
  That's Leslie on the back wall.  She's driving all the way from Crossville to learn to weave from Carol.
  Margi brought Laura to us.  Weaving can be contagious!

They both got their warps wound....now let's get them on the loom.














  The first warp is on the loom, and she'll be ready to start threading.




  The second warp will have to wait until next week....yes....Marie and Tina are putting the new loom together.
  We are slowly replacing the old table looms with the Ashford table looms.  The are so much more user friendly!!!!












  Marilyn started weaving on "B" today.  She got a quick course on B's personality quirks, and she was off and weaving.
  Bonnie is threading the shawl warp, and she might be ready to wind on next week.
  Linda got as much weaving time as she could today since she'll be taking off for her big cruise!!!  Anchors away, Linda!!!!



  Ms. Ila is on her last shawl on this warp.  She should be cutting it all off next week.
     Liz is threading her towel warp....slow and steady gets the job done.














  Jocelyn stopped by the loom that Margi is threading for placemats.  It's fun to see what other folks have on their looms.





  Anna and Frieda have their own little space in the loom corral.  Sometimes floor space is at a  premium!!!











 Christy is working on her newest band on the Inkle loom while Pearl does a little research.











   Carl needed to cut more blue jean strips this morning before he started a new rug.  It's a good thing Christy had all those panels ready for him!





                                                                           
   Here's a close-up of Sharon's scarf.  It's so much fun seeing the pattern develop on these painted warps.













  Folks that read this blog know that we LOVE to eat...and Pat made sure we had a great treat today!  Homemade  buckwheat, bran, whole wheat bread!  Oh, yes!




                        
Margi thought we might need some doughnuts for extra energy....yum!!!

Oh, yes....it was a SUNNY day all the way around!

Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
