It Takes A Village

 

  I seem to use that title a lot!  Today it kept singing in my head!  It does take a village of folks working together to get things done.

  Remember all those drying skeins from last week?  This is the beautiful result of more than a half dozen weavers playing with color and just getting it done.  They have been rinsed, and most of them have dried.  The ones at the front of this picture were still damp, and they are now drying in the new Annex.




  Carol is always available to help weavers as they begin new projects.




  

   And we always have folks step up to lighten the load when a new warp goes on a loom.





  We help each other with new technology!  Next week is the 5th Tuesday:  potluck!!!

  Now, if Marie will show us how to put it in our calendar!  



  Lou Ann happily cut off her towel warp!!!  This was a nine towel warp!!!



  Now it's time to serge the edges before she hems the towels.  

  Carol serged the hems on Susan's rugs while she had the serger going.



  Pearl's huck towels are really nice.




  I think Frieda enjoys all the chatter and laughter in the studio!

  Liz is learning a lot as she weaves her sampler.



  Betsy and Jocelyn just weave away while all the hub-bub happens around the studio.  Betsy has started a new treadling for this scarf--it's very striking, especially the back side.





  Yes, Liz!  That will be a 6 thread herringbone when you finish threading that shawl!  Nice!!!




  That's it for today from our little village.  Laura and Bonnie were able to get a lot done.


I hope you have your own "village" of folks that support your endeavors.  It sure does make a difference.


Happy Weaving!

LouAnn
