Fix It--Thread It--Cut It Off!!!!



   Well....I thought Ray was working on his loom, but I was wrong!  Ray was really busy this morning with his drill and some small dowels.  What WAS he up to????















  Ah-ha!  Ray was devising a way to hang our rugs in the hallway going down the stairs!!!!  The quilts that were in that space have been taken down, so we now have a lovely place to display some of our rugs.  Marie was his spotter.





  Tina and Dickie got busy fixing the table looms and their stands.  They tend to come off the stand when they are moved, and we needed them to stay on the stand.  (We didn't want a permanent solution since they are sometimes used for demonstration.)
  Together, these two came up with a solution!









  There's plenty of threading going on, too!  Peggy is busy with her placemat warp.










 Linda finished loading each section of the loom, and now it's time to thread for all those towels!













   As you can see, Liz is about half way through threading her placemat warp.







  Betsy has been looking forward to this day for awhile....she cut off her warp of placemats!!!
















  And, Carl cut off his warp of placemats, too!  He had a baker's dozen rolled up on that cloth beam!
  All around the Studio you could just find some amazing weaving taking place.  Although I thought I heard singing, when I looked, Pearl and Alyce were just weaving.

Marilyn shared some tips with Lou Ann.






Bonnie is thinking about weaving some dish towels, and Peggy is always a good sounding board.  Laura must be discussing a new project with Carol.















  Looks like Anna might be thinking about a new project, too!!!!



  Patty has gotten the hang of advancing the warp on this loom (it can be a little tricky!)  Those placemats are so colorful!















  Take a look at Tina's crocodile scarf!!!  She's knitting it for one of her grandsons, and brought it for us to admire!  Too cute!!!!

There's always a lot going on around here!

Happy Weaving!
LouAnn
