We have several projects going on in the Studio these days. Tina gave you an update last week about our key chains for Convergence, and we are still plugging away on that.
Marie and Linda brought in their bands they wove at home, and we're starting to see a patriotic theme evolve.
Patty had finished her last warp, and today she started warping for her new project.
Pat also finished several bands at home, and she brought her Inkle loom to work on in the Studio.
Then, there's our newest project!
Yes, Marie was busy taking pictures again today (and she's getting really good at styling!) Sharon assisted her in setting up this shot.
We'll reveal more about this at a later time!!!!!
Linda's friend, Helen, was visiting with us today.....who knows, she may decide she'd like to learn to weave!!!!
Anna and Bonnie stayed on task at their looms....Bonnie is starting her next shawl. That means she had to choose a new weft....we'll check on that next week.
Ms. Ila is ready to start weaving on her new shawl warp...or at least she'll be ready when Shirley gets all of her treadles tied.
Shirley shared a picture that Bonnie texted from Italy....I sure hope she's having a good time!!!!
When Sharon isn't helping Marie, she's weaving on her loom. Frieda is working on a new Inkle pattern, and she's found the warp generator a handy tool to use. Fiber folks do like to play with color....right???
Peggy is picking up a few pointers as Laura gets ready to wind on her new warp. Carol is always there to help.
Carol will be at Mid-West Weavers conference next week, so she wanted to make sure Laura was up and weaving before she left.
Charlotte cut fabric strips for her newest batch of placemats. This lady can sure get a lot done!!!
Carl is going to need that cutter next week! He's almost out of blue jean strips for his rugs. Time to cut some more!
Remember that cake that Marie was shooting???? Well...this is all that's left. Thank you, Ms. Ila, for making your orange chiffon cake for us, again!!!!
There's always something going on around here!!!!
Happy Weaving!

Hello, Weavers! I just discovered your blog and am loving it so much. I'm a brand new weaver up in Ithaca, NY who has been given a beautiful old cherry Norwood loom on more or less permanent loan. As a hobby woodworker, I am really enjoying repairing, refurbishing, and refinishing. But sticky, grimy flat steel heddles have the better of me. This is where you all came in. Google pointed me to a post of yours back in 2013 about using vinegar to soak those heddles overnight. I'll give that a whirl this weekend and should have this old gal up and running soon. If you see Tina, who wrote that entry, please thank her for me. And thanks to all of you for this wonderful, long-running inspiration of a blog. I hope to come see your handiwork at the Center sometime later this summer.
Strong warps and big sheds,
Diane Maluso

I love that picture of Carl!
