With Thanksgiving this weekend and our fiber gathering mid November, I have many things in my life to be thankful for.

Our 2nd Monday weavers gatherings are always an inspiration but even more so to be in Barb's home surrounded by the textiles that she has created. There are beautiful rep weave rugs everywhere, each one I would have to leap over rather than walk on if I lived here. Colorful quilts on the beds and [...]
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.

I can't think of a better way to spend a summer day, than enjoying fiber friends while surrounded by lush gardens, great food and calming prairie vistas. Thanks Olga for sharing your home so generously with us. Your home is such [...]
Our monthly gathering of weavers and fiber lovers met at Barb's this month. I am posting this late enough, that I have forgotten who brought what and just know it was a joyful day with lots of great food and piles of fabric to keep me inspired. I am always struck by the fact that when [...]
