We are fortunate in our little town to have the Viroqua Food Cooperative that not only feeds our community but fosters and supports our community in so many ways. Our 2nd Monday weavers group has met at the coop for two of our recent gatherings. Â Last Monday my DH's sister Mary Kay brought her weaver [...]
I can't think of a better way to spend a "when will it ever be spring" day than surrounded by my fiber friends. Â I think everyone felt the same as we had a larger than average group, brave an iffy driving day after a snowfall overnight. Â Lots of us have treacherous driveways and I know [...]
January has come and gone in a blur but in there somewhere, our weavers gathering took place at my house; this time on the 3rd Monday. An island of respite in a crazy month. As always I feel fortunate to share with friends a love of fiber and the many ways we inspire each other. [...]
Our 2nd Monday weavers gathering was in Viroqua at Denise and her partner Bill's new to them house. Â It was so fun to see how they have adapted to being townies after living in the country for so long. Â As I suspected Denise's sense of style and cozy love of art and textiles will make [...]
Our 2nd Monday weavers gathering had a perfect fall day in the perfect location at Elin and Bob's beautiful ridgetop farm. We  enjoyed what will probably be our final time to enjoy sitting outside; drinking coffee, along with lots of political discussion and there is always some fun show and tell.  I was happy to [...]
As in where did this summer go? Â Since our weavers gathering met at my house in June we have had a couple of gatherings in the park in town and a missed meeting for September cause apparently everyone was as crazy busy as I was. The Driftless Art Fair was here and gone in the [...]
After a two year hiatus the Winding Roads Art Tour had a very successful return on June 4-5. I was fortunate to share the home of my friend, jeweler Nan Marshall to display my handwovens and jewelry. It was fun to share our work with so many people, some from as far away as the [...]
It was pretty great heading to Barbs house for our 2nd Monday weavers gathering last Monday.  First the drive down through our  rolling  hills of the driftless region and then down along the Wisconsin River was lovely, even without any seeing much evidence of spring time green colors yet.  It was just great to get [...]
Last Monday our weavers group gathered again at Elin's new studio.  We were a small but apparently very productive group.  As always seeing the amazing textiles that these talented women create has me itching to get busy on my loom. Jewelry making has been  a lovely distraction in preparation for VIVA Gallery's February Jewelry and [...]
I find myself behind on posts for our weavers gathering, partly because until just recently we had the internet from hell and it was pretty torturous to try to post. Â There is also a slight lazy factor but oh well, I'm just going with blaming the internet. Â But now we have entered the modern age [...]
