Last months fiber gathering was a lovely day spent in the shade of a few huge trees in Rachel's front yard.  Elin's granddaughter made good use of the trees for climbing. It was fun to see Elin in grandma mode. With the continued stress of rising Covid-19 numbers in Wisconsin this gathering was a needed [...]
Our November weavers gathering made the trip to LaCrosse to Kathy's lovely home; filled with color and so many lovely textiles that it was hard to decide which pictures to share. Kathy is not shy about color and I have always admired her ability to combine colors in her weavings in fresh and new ways. [...]
This month's weavers gathering was at Judith's new home. It's just around the corner from her previous home and seems to be the perfect fit for her. I wish I had been there to see her and Susan getting her Glimakra Julie loom out of the old place and carried down the street to its [...]
Our 2nd Monday weavers gathering was a perfect spring day in a perfect setting at Elin and Bob's place. Coffee on the deck was surrounded by orioles feeding on oranges and magnolias and bleeding hearts giving us a spring show, much needed after a long and hard winter. There were lots of fiber goodies to [...]
With lots of hits and misses in weather, our April weavers gathering took place at Barb and Harry's place on what seemed to be an actual spring day. Good thing I didn't know then about the ice storm that would come later that week, that left me and many others without power for close to [...]

Novembers 2nd Monday gathering found a van load of fiber friends traveling to LaCrosse, to Kathy's sweet northside home. As always it is fun to see the spaces that inspire us to weave or create. Kathy's Glimakra loom was threaded with a lovely rayon chenille fabric, soon to be a piece of wearable art. I [...]
This year's fair was a whirlwind of...well...wind, lots of great music, food and the best part, great people. Both friends, returning customers and fellow artists whose works never fail to inspire. It's probably good that I didn't have much time to walk around, at least from my pocketbooks standpoint. Â My boothAlpaca, wool, cashmere cowlPeople watching [...]
