Making The Best Use of Space

 

  For those of you who follow this blog, you know that we have a space challenge.  Looms take up space!

  Our Bonnie's family donated her wonderful looms to the Tuesday Weavers, and we are working hard to give them just the right space within our area. 

  We are lucky to have looms that fold for easy storage, and finding just the right arrangement is an opportunity for creativity!

  Later today, there is a meeting concerning the replacement for the Annex.  We added onto the building in 2012, but it is time for a more permanent facility.  Keep your fingers crossed!


   The learning continues for Diane and Victoria.  Even with all the action going on around them, they are concentrating on their looms.



  It looks like Marie and Marilyn are checking the tie-ups on the treadles.....or maybe they are checking the jazzy cords??










  Tina is working with the mystery warp that came on Bonnie's loom.  We're not sure what she was getting ready to thread, but the colors are lovely!  






  Jocelyn is threading her brown warp (why does it seem to take so long to thread the loom that keeps us from the fun part:  weaving!)

  Did Betsy cut off  her warp today?  She was so close last week!!!




  So, when Patty isn't helping to move looms, she's threading a warp!







  Laura is getting the hang of working on the placemat warp.  Floor looms are so much fun!







  Good job, Pat!  I see you got the loom moved to the space beside Laura.  





  Pearl and Peggy have been coming on other days of the week, but it is so good to see them today!




  A big thank you to Linda for taking all these pictures today.  I think she should take over as the official photographer!!!





  How's this for fun....Maggie texted me this photo of her newest warp going on her loom in Virginia.  She dyed this warp at one of our dye days way back when!!!!  She's weaving a shawl using Johann D. #32 from Davison's book.  Can't wait to see the finished project!








 Sadly, we have learned of the passing of one of our former weavers, Bonnie.  This photo is from December 2009.  She will be missed.


 

 

 

 Happy Weaving!
