Weavers! Weaving!

WOW (Way Out West) Weavers study group met early April--

bringing members together to discuss the past month's 

weaving adventures.

Finished!  Yes!  Finished! Rep Weave Mug Mats for

CHT (Contemporary Handweavers of Texas) conference 

to be held in early June in Houston

Our group volunteered to weave 175 + for one of the

meals--and this mission was accomplished by some

dedicated weavers!  It was not necessary for

each mat to be exactly alike--a design process for

the weaver.  These are Karen's mats in which she

used rag strips for her weft

I like the look of the warp all fringed out

Karen bundled them nicely too!

Tracy is donating this lovely towel for the raffle basket

She had made one for a gift and donated this one for

the basket--some lucky person will enjoy this addition

to their kitchen

Here is Karen I with her recently finished rag rugs.

The one on the right was featured in the latest issue

of Handwoven by Interweave Press

Look up the issue to get the recipe--you too can

weave this!

Both of these rag rugs will go to her new house

Her brown and blue rug can be used in any room.

 Karen is featuring "Workshop in a box" in her Etsy shop.

Jump over to her blog and read how she can help you

make a handwoven towel.  Her box includes the warp, weft,

all the instructions plus link to her tutorial videos--

she posted only 5 boxes at a time

Gretchen missed our March meeting--so she

brought and shared her color warp from the recent

guild workshop.  She chose more pastel colors (so like her

in fact!)

Here is plain weave--look at the tracking

Here she did summer/winter weave structure

side by side to see the comparison. 

She left the weft sides so she could remember

which color she used in each section.

Never a dull meeting when you gather with weavers!
