Gearing Up!

 

  We threw her right into the midst of it:  we're getting ready for the Foothills Fall Festival the first weekend of November!  The perfect day for a new weaver to begin!

  Welcome to Barbara....she's really not a new weaver.  But, she's been away from her loom for a few years and ready for a refresher.

  We have warps going on looms (who do you call when there's a hick-up?  Marie and Pat of course!!!)  Liz was having a little problem with the brake.  

  All is well now...she's threading her warp.

  We have warps coming off the loom:  Linda cut off thirteen towels this afternoon.  This way she won't be rushed to get them hemmed before the show.

  Bonnie didn't like the structure she was weaving, so she cut it off and is re-threading the warp.  This will be a summer-winter pattern.

  Shirley and Marilyn are weaving on their projects while Lou Ann continues threading.  (Don't those colors make you smile!!!!)

  Patty is winding a warp for two huck lace shawls.

  Be sure to click on the picture to get a closer look at Jocelyn's placemat.  These are so perfect for Fall.

   

  Betsy finished her warp of fabric for bowl cozys.  She has enough fabric for thirteen.

  Here's a close-up of the fabric on the cloth beam.

  Those towels that we have kept our eyes on are off the loom and hemmed.  Great job, Cheryl.

  I promise that we don't put Shari in the corner!!!  She has found a spot that keeps her out of the traffic, and we all can stop by and watch her progress.

  I promised a picture of Pat's three color clasp weft rug.....ta-da!!!!  

  From the old to the new OR from analog to digital.  Either way, Sharon is taking the handwritten list of added books to the data base.  All things in time.....

   

  And, speaking of time:  the Annex is finished!  I'm not sure when we'll be moving our treasures, but I hope it is AFTER the show!

Another reason to celebrate!!!!

Happy Weaving!
