Dear Carol,

Dear Carol, 
  We hope you're having a grand time with your family....sorry the hot temperatures followed you north.  

  We put Carl to work cutting weft for the placemats he'll be weaving.  That's 10 yards of fabric....I'm sure Carl will need more before too long.
  
  After lunch, Pearl put Carl to work adding tags to the key chains that were finished.  We have a great assortment of finished key rings so far!


   Earlier, Pearl  perused Anne Dixon's book for possible patterns to use.  Andy dropped by for a visit, and she and Frieda had an opportunity to catch up.  Lou Ann finished hemstitching and starting weaving on her sampler.

   In fact, Lou Ann has learned the value of "un-weaving" already!!!  (We've all been there!)


 








  
 No surprise....this warp is just perfect for Peggy!!!  And, it seems to be going on the loom so smoothly!

 Ray brought the new treadle for the Harrisville loom and installed it before Patty and Charlotte began winding on the warp.  Patty is going to thread it next week.

  Anna's doing a great job on the cozy warp.  Pat threaded a twill pattern from Davison, and Anna just threadles a straight twill! 
  Linda is counting out bouts as she prepares to change the threading on the towel warp.  
  Betsy was concentrating on threading her new warp. 



  

  Marilyn finished the runner with the twisted weft, and she's back to just weaving more placemats.   


 
















  Now that he has that temple, Ray is just weaving away!  (Or, at least he is when we don't have him fixing something!!!!)


  Click on this picture to see those sweet, little yellow bands on Jocelyn's towels!  For such a slow start, this warp is going very nicely, now.

  Liz is back from her visit with her sister, who has taken up weaving!  I'm sure they had some wonderful times together!
  By the way, her placemat warp is going great, too!




 










   Carol....I'm leaving you with this picture of Bonnie.  I'll let you take a guess as to what she is doing........ 
  All is well here.....
Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
