It doesn't seem all that long ago that we wrote the grant to get new looms for the beginning weavers. Yet, when I look back, we had to wait for the grant, wait for the delivery, and each loom had to be put together. I think this might be the first time we had all four looms being used by our new student weavers! Isn't it a wonderful sight!!!! Thank you, again, to the Norris Foundation for your faith in us!
Soon, they will be ready to move to a floor loom and plan their own projects. (I'm sure they are already thinking about getting a loom at home, too!)
It's always fun to walk around the Studio and visit with the weavers as they work. Pat stopped by to chat with Marilyn and Bonnie as they worked at their looms.
In the background, it looks like Ray as been called in to look at a mechanical problem.
Linda is still threading for a new towel warp.
Carl finished another placemat and got started on another one. He just keeps churning them out!!!!
Helen has finished weaving the body of the scarf, and is almost finished hem stitching.....not our favorite part!!! That's another scarf for the Fall sale!
I don't know the game plan, but, Ms. Ila has one! As promised, she got busy at the back of her loom pulling the threads out one at a time and putting them in the lease sticks that Bonnie is holding.
We'll stay tuned......
Jocelyn tied her warp back onto the loom, but she still isn't happy with the tension. Betsy stopped by to take a look, but it's not clear what is going on.
We'll figure it out..............
For your viewing pleasure, take a look at Peggy's Peacock Twill scarf.
Need I say more?????
Today WAS the perfect day to be in the Studio! Jocelyn and Ms. Ila treated us with homemade coffee cake and muffins AND
Connie was working upstairs and brought down a bundt cake that she had baked.
It was decided that we are wayyyyyyy overdue for a Potluck!!!!! That's just what we do!!!!
Thank you, Ladies!!!!
Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
