  When I got to the Center this morning, there was such a hum of activity as soon as I opened the door.  One of the Convergence trips will be visiting the Appalachian Arts Craft Center on July 18.  It was time to do a little Spring cleaning!!!  Bonnie (back right) was busy running the vacuum around and under the looms.  Tina was rethreading her warp.  Patty, Jocelyn and Betsy were working at their looms.

Shirley and Pearl were sorting yarn and putting them with like yarns on the shelf.  All around the studio folks were sorting and cleaning!  

Carol took some time to work with our new weaver, Shannon.  She's planning a new warp and wanted help reading a draft.

We are so glad to have Liz back with us for the summer.  She's busy threading her warp.

Ruth is back also...she's working on her placemat warp.

Betsy's been busy at home!  Besides a whole stack of bathmats, she wove this blanket for a newborn. This was some "dragon tail" that she was given!  It's so soft!!!

Marilyn was inspired by an article in Handwoven and wove a bunch of kitchen towels.

Linda was commissioned to weave a table runner and had enough warp to do two!!!  The lady requested a "white" one, but the pattern shows nicely with the natural weft.

  July is going to be a busy month, and we're really looking forward to welcoming our guest to the Center.  The bulletin board is even getting a make-over!!!!

Stay safe, fiber friends, and Happy Weaving!
