Wow! June is quickly turning into a whirlwind for the weavers! We have Dye Day later this week at Patty's barn, an arts & crafts fair on the 18th, finishing touches to our items for the exhibit in July and the move into the new Annex.
Patty, Marie and Barbara made some headway on the move this morning. More shelving will be added for the additional tubs.
One of the tubs found in the Annex contained woven items and ribbons won by former head of the weaving department, Ellen Cain.
The first batch of "blue-green" mug rugs came off the loom. Barbara was busy threading another warp for the other members who haven't woven one yet. Carol will take them home to hem.
After a threading error, Sharon finished her "blue-green" scarf and took the opportunity to twist the fringes. The Bress Weaving Book is just heavy enough to keep everything in place.
I'm sure you'll remember all those times we came in to weaving to find boxes and bags of donated yarn and fabric. This was not a donation...it was a cry for help! These ladies inherited this braided rug, and wanted to finish it, but had no idea how. Carol did her homework and she was ready to help out. Isn't that a beauty!!!!
While we stay crazy busy, we do hope you have a wonderful fiber week!
