Getting Ready

 

 

 It seems we are always getting ready for something!!!

  Patty will be teaching at the Smoky Mt. Fiber Arts Festival in April, and she will also have a booth.  We are trying our hand at selling pre-wound scarf warps that will be dyed next week.  She is winding two warps at once...neat, huh?

  Mary is using the skein winder to wind weft for the kits.  They will get their turn during Dye Day!

  Several weavers have stepped up to help on this newest project!

  Pearl has finished her scarf for the "Blue-Green" challenge.  She is also weaving a huck lace runner for the challenge.

  

  Barbara got her blue warp tied on the loom for her Challenge project.  We'll have to wait and see what she's going to weave!!!

  Betsy has been going through her stash for her blue-green challenge.  She and Linda discussed the best way to decide on the epi for her collection.

  Although Liz's warp is blue, this isn't part of the challenge.  This is her first warp, and Carol has designed it to weave samples plain weave and twills.  It's a great way to get started.

  Liz also shared her weaving knowledge with some visitors to the studio this afternoon! 

  Tina is taking care of the last of the twisted threads on her loom.  She's getting near the end!

  Susan is threading her towel warp.

  You gotta love those big smiles!  I know I look forward to seeing them each week!

  Rachel is going to weave some placemats for her second warp.  (I think she's caught the weaving bug!)

  Peggy came by last week and got her warp wound on her loom.  Now it's time to get it threaded!!!

I missed getting photos of some of our weavers today:  Laura and Lou Ann!  So sorry!

  Although our February sales were down, it seems that Linda's towels are still selling like hot cakes!!!!  Keep up the good work, Linda!

Just get ready!!!

Happy Weaving!

LouAnn

p.s.  Hugs going out to Pat!  We're thinking of you!!!
