Our April weavers gathering met at Denise's sweet brick farmhouse in Gays Mills. With the sounds of geese honking and the rush of the Kickapoo River nearby, spring's abundance was everywhere. As a spring celebration we came bearing eggs to learn how to dye them with pieces of silk fabric. Denise showed us how to [...]

Last Monday, our 2nd Monday gathering was at my home. Spring is here in all of her unpredictable beauty; which explains why I was whipping the sheets off some of my outdoor flowers as people made their way up the driveway. My little beauties survived 2 nights of frost and now I am hoping that [...]
