You Can Always Tell When Carol is Out of Town!

Carol has been gone for several weeks now and it will be several more weeks before she makes it back from her Canada trip. So items that are ready for the shop upstairs are starting to pile up!!!

There was a lot happening in the Studio this morning. Linda finished her scarf warp.

Judith has begun weaving the first rug on the Studio Loom.

Betsy is almost finished threading her warp, and Karins hand dyed scarf warp is loving the weft she chose!

Jenny's fabric is marvelous, again one of our hand dyed warps!

I saw Mark preparing strips of fabric for his placemats, he was lining them up and getting ready to go to the sewing machine.

It was then lunch time, everytime a month has 5 Tuesdays, we have a potluck meal. This months theme was a picnic.

After lunch and after a short business meeting it is time for Show and Tell! Pat brought in some marvelous all wool rugs! She says she was stash busting!

Susan finished her wool mix scarves and brought them in for us to see, Shannon brought in a piece of fabric she had woven for a special bag. This is the fabric before the project is made. Alic also brought in a place mat she had finished at home and a napkin that she wove using the same warp but finer weft!

I brought in my latest piece of Bobbin Lace. I brought in the lace, the pricking and the pattern I followed. I also showed the next project I was working on. Mark brought in some big cones of yarn he got in Asheville at a huge yarn swap, but I can't remember it's name! When I find out I will come back and let you know! Found it! It was "The Anything Fiber Sale" sponsored by Local Cloth in Asheville. (Thanks Mark!)

That is all we have for today. Until next week this is Tina, for all!
