| Linda pulled out this gorgeous tea towel made from 8/2 cotton, sett 20 epi |
 |
| She used the pattern from this leaflet from Interweave. This leaflet is in digital format now, if you are interested and it isn't already in your library. |
 |
| Marian had this draft to work up--as a challenge to her for presentation at the 2013 state conference. |
 |
| The back |
 |
| The front--now, the real challenge--how to reduce this to 6"x6" for the challenge? |
 |
| Marian is always pushing herself to the limits of weaving. Here is M&O pattern from a workshop that she attended at Southwest School of Art in San Antonio. |
 |
| She used variegated embroidery floss for the color contrast in the spacers as well as the weft |
 |
| And practicing her skills at doubleweave pick up--these are her samples! We say she is darn good but she wasn't pleased with this outcome. |
 |
| With an interest in Crackle Weave, several of us are eyeing this new book |
 |
| Fairly new weaver Lisa jumped at the chance to take a workshop with Jason Collingwood to learn rug techniques |
 |
| This smallish rug (just perfect to place at your feet while sitting at the loom) was soft and dense. Lisa used Jason's brand of rug yarn for her weft. |
 |
| This colorful handspun wrap comes from the hands of our newest member, Kyla who is an art teacher. |
 |
| Kyla likes to work with bright colors and by doing her own dyeing on her fibers she can achieve that effect |
 |
| We like the orange! |
 |
| She was knitting on this brilliant red handspun scarf. Why is it the camera doesn't like red?? We have 2013 plans to assemble a raffle basket for Contemporary Handweavers of Texas. We pack lots of goodies and handwovens in our basket, which makes it a hot item! Off to the loom.............................................................. |
