With Thanksgiving this weekend and our fiber gathering mid November, I have many things in my life to be thankful for.  Our family gathering was very meaningful this year, partly because it has been the first since covid and mostly because my sister was there to enjoy it with us. She has been fighting the [...]

winter gathering at Elin’s

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.   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. They all got to experience indigo dyeing, sumo wrestling, drumming and kayaking. A highlight of our gathering, as always is [...]

gathering at Anna’s

February's weavers group met at knitter/seamstress/designer; Anna's home in Viroqua. I found it challenging making it past the porch that was filled with her potter husbands wares on display. The whole house was filled with art and pottery and Anna's lovely ascetic. I so love the homes of artists, the walls practically sing with creativity. [...]

Our weavers group recently shared a beautiful summer day at Olga's lovely country home. 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 [...]

spring?

The weavers group gathered at my house this month.  I generally don't have the group at my house in the winter because my driveway can be a snowy icy white knuckle adventure.  So mid April should be good, right?  Well when I woke up to 4 inches of fresh new snow I pretty much just [...]

gathering at Barb’s

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 [...]
