A large 2nd Monday weavers gathering met at Denise and Bill's sweet and homey brick house overlooking the Kickapoo River in Gays Mills. Such an idyllic setting. While it is spectacular now in its winter whites I would love to see it again surrounded by the lovely shades of spring greens and knowing Denise; [...]
Apparently being cooped up with cold temps has made for some productive weavers, judging by the wonderful projects on display at our weavers gathering at friend Elin's house. Just enough textile overload, shared comradery and laughter to keep us going until next months gathering, despite what winter throws at us. Â woolies by the [...]
November's weavers gathering was at good friend Nan and Jim's home. They and their young son, Ethan had recently been to Japan and had lots of books, pictures and tales of their travels to share. They all got to experience indigo dyeing, sumo wrestling, drumming and kayaking. A highlight of our gathering, as always is [...]
Our fiber group had the pleasure of having our meeting at Sonya and Cecil's wonderful sustainalbe super energy efficient solar home. Her business Newenhouses has several house plans, all under 1000 sq ft. Check out this article about her business with lots of great pictures. It is always fun to see where creative friends live [...]
Our fiber group was fortunate to recently have spent a lovely summer day, sharing our fiber projects, surrounded by Olga's lavish flower gardens. Her poppies were definitely the stars of the show. So much so that it made me wish I was a painter, especially seeing Judith putting some of that beauty to paper wth [...]
Summer is truly here and I can't think of a better way to spend a day than getting together a car full of friends, for a road trip through the rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin. Even better to have the destination of our newest fiber friend Barb's lovely country home. We enjoyed seeing her flock [...]
Our May weavers gathering at Carole's couldn't have had a prettier setting. Her property is smack dab in the middle of an old apple orchard that was in full bloom. We spent so much time laughing and chatting, eating so much great food, and oohing and ahhhing over show and tell projects; that I didn't [...]
As expected when I decided to invite the weavers to my house for our April get together, there was a threat of snow overnight. If you know my driveway, you don't invite friends over when it might be snow covered; and have them remain friends. However all turned out well and it even warmed up [...]
February's weavers group met at knitter/seamstress/designer; Anna's home in Viroqua. I found it challenging making it past the porch that was filled with her potter husbands wares on display. The whole house was filled with art and pottery and Anna's lovely ascetic. I so love the homes of artists, the walls practically sing with creativity. [...]
Our February weavers group met at fellow fiber artist, Virginia's shop; Sylvan Meadows on Main Street in Viroqua, WI. It was a warm and inviting place for our ever expanding group to spread out in, surrounded by lots of fiber and the scent of her lovely handmade soaps. I loved that that a few people [...]
