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 [...]
Well it has been a hot minute since I last posted about our monthly 2nd Monday weavers gatherings. Â Our last get together in person was a lovely and surprisingly warm day in November at Kathy's lovely home in the valley. Â We thought we would have to gather outside around a fire but didn't need that [...]
So this is the day before Thanksgiving and I find myself procrastinating ( a speciality of mine) and instead of baking pies, or whatever, will show you our November gathering of fiber friends at Kathy's home. We were expecting colder weather but it was a warm enough day that we didn't even need the fire [...]
The last farmers market flowers.  Our fiber group shared a lovely day at Eckhardt Park for our 2nd Monday weavers gathering in September. Although it is hard to say what the colder weather will bring. We acknowledge that the isolation of not getting together once a month is not what any of [...]

Sonya hosted our 2nd Monday fiber group this month and gave us a delightful tour of some of the Finnish textiles that she grew up with. Such exquisite linens, so expertly created gave me something to strive for and made me proud that I, in a small way, continue in the art of making cloth [...]
Well December was here and gone in the blink of an eye and I better get this post in before our January meeting rolls around next Monday. Our 2nd Monday weavers group met at the Viroqua Food Coop; such a nice space to relax from all the hoopla of the holidays and share what we [...]
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 [...]
This months, oops I mean July's weavers gathering was a lovely drive down to Wauzeka to visit with Barb B. and of course her very photogenic llama Gandolf. We saw lots of high water and signs of flooding along the way and the Wisconsin River seemed incredibly high. But a car full of weavers driving [...]
