Another Great Day

   ****Just a note:  I updated the membership list last month and sent it to Carol.  I jokingly said that this would mean we'd be getting a new weaver soon.  Guess what?????

  Welcome to our newest weaver, Katelyn!  She came by to visit the Center last week and came downstairs to tour the Pottery Department.  But, she loved all the energy and weaving going on in our studio, and she's back to learn to weave.

 
 

There's always so much going on in the Studio, and if you blink, you might miss it!
  Pat finished up one rug and she was getting started on the next one.












  Liz is almost at the end of her warp!  The bar is getting ready to go over the back beam!  That's six placemats and one table runner!
  Jocelyn is still having trouble with the tension on the right side, so next week she'll cut off the two towels that are finished and tie back on the loom.


   Carl finished one placemat and he's half way through the second one now.  After filling the shuttle with the fabric weft, we realized that we'll need to.




















  Patty tagged the new batch of key rings that are ready to be counted.  We are getting so close to our goal!!!!
  Charlotte dropped by with plans for her weaving at home.  Wonder what she's weaving now????


  Polly and Barbara stopped by today, also.  Polly wanted some tips on her Inkle weaving.
  The best tip:  practice, practice, practice!!!!!
  Frieda has contributed a bunch of key rings to our project!










     Alyce is through knotting the groups for fringes, and now comes the fun part:  twisting!!!!  These bamboo wraps are sooooooo nice!  A perfect wrap for Fall evenings!













  We were so glad to have Helen back with us today.  She back there with Linda and Betsy in their cozy little nook.  Linda is rethreading her towel warp...it's time for a change!  Bonnie is starting a new shawl on her warp....I need to get a look at the weft!
  Those lovely hands belong to Pearl.  She's busy threading an Atwater Bronson pattern.


  Yes....another view of Bonnie from the other side!  Marilyn, Ray and Mary make up the other corner of the Studio. 
  We were all excited about Ray's warp making Page 12 of the HGA Convergence guide.  You're famous, Ray!!!!










    "That's enough," she said!!!!!  Ms. Ila has declared that she will NOT fight this warp any longer.  Next week a plan will be made to fix all the wayward threads!!!!!   Stay tuned......


I've said it before.....and it's still true.....another great day with the Tuesday Weavers!

Happy Weaving!
