Results of Dye Day

 

Look carefully at the front of room and you'll see Patty holding up several skeins of finished dyed warps.  (Click to make the picture larger.)  These were done over the weekend by several of our TWs who like to dye.  Patty had been thinking about other patterns she could use.

Her use of color is very inspiring.  I think she had a little fun, too!

  Lou Ann and Pearl took over the spinning of the wet skeins.  The spinners sure make quick work of that heavy wet yarn!

  Should I tell you that Liz fished her finishing weft out of the trash?  She got to the end of placemat and needed a few more inches.  It just so happened that she had pitched some left over weft when she started the last placemat.

  Shari and Joycelyn were busy with their warps.

  This is a picture you WILL want to see bigger!  Marilyn had a picture of her newest Inkle project.  This is her first time using cards to weave her design.

So, how is Betsy going to follow up those beautiful blankets???  Why, BEACH TOWEL, of course!!!!

  Carol put Frieda to work tagging all the items we've produced this month.  It's good to see her today!

I can't say "welcome to our new weaver."  Samatha learned to weave here at the Center until her daughter was born.  That baby is now 25 years old.  Back to weaving we go!!!

  Oh,..remember Liz's placemat???

She had just enough to finish it.  That's 7 placemats!.

I saw you Karin!!!  And, Alyce was there too!  Those are Susan's towels on the loom.

Great day in the studio!

Happy Weaving!

Happy Birthday, Pat!

 

  Betsy made Pat an angel food cake (from scratch) for her birthday!  That's Pat on the left, her sister Bonnie in the middle, and Betsy on the right.  Bonnie is visiting Pat from Colorado for this special occasion.

The Weavers brought lots of goodies to fill in the choices!!!

  Linda used up some beautiful colors to make her six bowl cozies.  Carol now has twenty-four cozies for upstairs!

Phyllis and Dale are putting the yarn winder/counter back together.  Out comes the manual!!!

 

It's always fun to see Christie back with us.  She says this warp will probably be book marks!!!

  Bonnie & I think that the weft for this towel is lemon & lime.  What do you think?  Everyone has their own opinion.  (I think there's more green than yellow!)

  Joycelyn has begun her new scarf.  I think she was tired of the green!

Our new weavers were busy at their looms.  Vicky is still waiting for one!

  

   

Betsy cut off her blanket warp and taking it home to wet finish.  She ended up with 4 beautiful blankets.  The weft warp was a light gray.  WOW!

Have a good week.
