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 [...]
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 [...]
This bound weave sampler has been a long time in the making. Â I think once I figured out how the patterns are designed and realized how slow of a process this weaving was going to be, I lost my mojo. Â Maybe a downside in having 3 looms set up is that I can ignore one [...]
It was fun to have our weavers group gather at my house on a lovely spring day. Once we got show and tell out of the way and stuffed ourselves with quiche and lots of great food we spent some time taking in the view from my deck. The eagles made an appearance in trees [...]
I can't think of a better way to spend a day waiting for spring to arrive than a gathering of weavers at Judith's home filled with sunlight and art everywhere you look. Apparently she is not the only talented artist in her family. We all greatly admire the dedication and beauty of Judith's art journals. [...]
Here is a bit of a catch up on what I have woven over the course of the summer in preparation for The Driftless Area Art Festival, a fair that I am always honored to be part of. My looms have been empty for a month now and that is just wrong. So today I [...]
Our 2nd Monday weavers group met at my friend Carole's lovely home. Her gardens are a delight to explore and it is obvious why weaving is not a priority during the summer gardening months. It made me want to go home and give my plants a little pep talk. I picked a bad day to [...]
In my warped (hey, that's a good pun) way of thinking I am weaving and knitting everything I can that is wooly and warm; in the hopes that it will trick spring temperatures into returning to normal. It has been cold and dreary and if it keeps up I will be wearing the black and [...]

 I have the great honor of having been invited to participate in Susan Johnson's first textile show at her studio/shop in Avalanche, Wi. I hope this show can share some of the excitement and love that we have for textiles and the creating of them. I know that everytime that I venture out to Avalanche [...]
