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.  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 [...]
