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 [...]
Since I was in crazy weaving production mode due to the upcoming Driftless Area Art Festival I almost didn't attend our monthly weavers gathering at Anne Marie's house. Â I'm sure glad that I went, it was just the break from weaving that I needed and now that the art fair is sadly canceled again this [...]
One more step to normalcy was hosting this months weavers group and it was such a beautiful day, made more so by sharing it with such talented and inspirational women.

It turned out to be a lovely fall day to have the weavers gather at my house. I wish the killing frost had waited one more day but despite the lack of flowers we managed to have a great time. Parking is always an issue at my house and with a surprise visit by our [...]

In an effort to avoid winter travel woes, January's 2nd Monday weavers gathering was held in the community room of our incredible newly renovated Viroqua Food Coop. One of our weavers is Jan who also just happens to be the manager of the coop and she graciously offered to host the group and boy did [...]
This months weavers gathering was hosted by Janet and Tony at their condo in LaCrosse right across from a lovely garden and the Mississippi River. It didn't take us long to take over the community room tables with piles of handwovens and yarny goodness. Lots of great food, as always but I especially loved the [...]
With 2 significant snowstorms in April totaling more than we had received any other month this winter, our weaving group was thrilled to pile into Barb and Harry's warm and welcoming home. By the time Judith and I arrived the dining room table was well covered with handwoven goodies for show and tell. My contribution [...]
Here is a bit of a catch up on what I have woven over the course of the summer in preparation for The Driftless Area Art Festival, a fair that I am always honored to be part of. My looms have been empty for a month now and that is just wrong. So today I [...]
