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 [...]
Well winter is still here, as I write this we are looking to see more -15 degrees temperatures coming back this weekend even though it will officially be March. But then again we have had some great snowfalls and beautiful blue skies. Spring always comes...right? Our weavers group met once again at our local food [...]
In an effort to avoid winter travel woes, January's 2nd Monday weavers gathering was held in the community room of our incredible newly renovated Viroqua Food Coop. One of our weavers is Jan who also just happens to be the manager of the coop and she graciously offered to host the group and boy did [...]
This Decembers weavers gathering was at Sonya's and Cecil's house in town. It was such a beautiful drive into town, with the trees covered in sparkle frost that I had to stop for a photo. On the way home an eagle was sitting on the post of my bridge just as I was about to cross [...]
This Novembers gathering of weavers was at my house in the hopes that I could host before the snow flies and getting up my driveway becomes a leap of faith. Other than a couple of panicked parking situations everyone made it up and we proceeded to have a fun and fibery gathering. Plus I always [...]
Our October 2nd Monday weavers gathering was at friend Elin and Bob's lovely country home. There won't be too many more beautiful fall days and I can't think of a better way to enjoy the day than with like minded fiber friends. Seeing Elin's big Glimakra loom set up for the start of a rug [...]
Our September weavers gathering was a hot sunny day at Anne Marie's country home. It is fun to travel these winding roads and see the homesteads tucked back into the hills where gardens are bountiful, children are raised and life just happens. After driving these back roads not so far from my own house I [...]
This months weavers gathering was hosted by Janet and Tony at their condo in LaCrosse right across from a lovely garden and the Mississippi River. It didn't take us long to take over the community room tables with piles of handwovens and yarny goodness. Lots of great food, as always but I especially loved the [...]
