The Back Row

I know that I said that I would talk about the Schasht Wolf Pups today, but we didn't have very many in service today. So, I thought I would talk about the floor looms that are at the back of the studio instead. The first weaver up is Betsy, she is weaving on a 40 inch Macomber B5 and she is weaving beach towels with stripes and checks. Betsy first came across the Tuesday Weavers at the Foothills Craft Guild that is held every Fall. Carl was demonstrating weaving on a small floor loom, and since Betsy had recently retired and was feeling the need of something new, she looked us up, took the 6 week course and like most of us she just keeps on coming!

Next we have Bonnie who is weaving on a 45 inch Leclerc Nilus. Bonnie is weaving some fabric to make a top and today she is threading Front to back. Bonnie found the Center soon after she moved to near by Norris TN. She stopped in to see what it was all about and took the Weaving class.

Beside Bonnie we find Shannon weaving on a 28 inch Baby Macomber. Shannon is weaving material that she will use to make purses. Shannon had Weaving on her bucket list for a long time, in fact she already had a loom when she found out about us at the Fiber Festival in Townsend in the Smoky Mountains.

The last one for today is Laura who is weaving placemats and table runners on a Norwood Loom. Laura heard about us from Margi who sometimes comes to weave with us and who is really good at making Christmas decorations.

I'll keep working my way around the room next week, Tina for all
