We're Famous!!!

 



 Have you gotten your March-April Handwoven yet?
Well....turn to page 16 and there's a great article about our little weaving community!
You might recognize some of the faces.  We are already getting emails about possible visits to the Center.  If YOU come, remember we are here on Tuesdays!



  The article was written by our own Pat Bing.  When she's not weaving beautiful rugs, she writes great articles!









This is three of our new weavers:  Jayne, Phyllis and Kathy.  (The other ones were on the other side of the table.)  Marie is working on the books while there was a lull in the activities.





  We were happy to see Charlotte today.  She's been weaving samples of different structures, and brought them for Carol to see.  It's always fun to see her use of color and patterns.





  Shirley, Marily, Lou Ann and Shari were busy threading and weaving.  Since Candace wasn't here today, Shari just started threading the shawl warp.






  Patty and Linda pitched in to help Carol tag the items going upstairs.  We have a lot of inventory we haven't tagged yet!







As you can see, Carol has quite a stack of items to get ready for the shop.









 Liz just realized that she skipped a dent when she sleyed the reed.  But, it's pretty close to the right side--easy fix.

  Shirley had crossed heddles, but we fixed that, too!



  

  Laura is working on a table runner to go with her placemats.  She's got tapes everywhere to mark where the stripes will be!








  We're all heart!!!  We celebrated Valentine's Day in style!  We started grazing early so that by lunchtime, most folks just skipped their lunch they brought.  (Except Betsy:  she ate her salad like a good girl!)







  Meg asked us what a bowl cozy looked like and I thought I'd include this picture.  It's a fabric cozy for bowls to use in the microwave.  You can pick up the hot bowl by the ears, which saves your fingers. You have to use 100% cotton for this project, which is right down our alley!  Look on YouTube for patterns and ideas.

What a LOVEly day!

Oh, wow, famous weavers! How wonderful. And thank you for the picture and explanation of the bowl cozy. I thought it was just decorative, but what a great idea - I sure need some in a few sizes.
