Grand Forks, BC
Grand Forks, BC is nestled in the south east ‘corner’ of the province. It is a lovely little town with a vibrant arts community. And a weaver’s guild. I have been asked to teach there this year. The only dates that worked for both the guild and me are the Nov. 28/29 weekend. Which doesn’t…

Concentration
Concentration was pretty thick in the air in the guild room this weekend! Eight enthusiastic students, exploring the nature of lace weaves. The guild room was stuffed. If there had been one more person, I think the room may have burst. As it was we were, um, cozy. Such a delight to see people understand…

Sweeping Cobwebs – Still
Obviously I wasn’t thinking clearly when I set up my schedule for the end of this year. Generally I can cope with the myriad deadlines that peak throughout the year, but who thought it was a good idea to have so many things all come to a head the last couple of weeks of the…

The Gift
Who else but another weaver to appreciate a handwoven gift? Got these mug rugs and bookmark (because Sheila knows I still read ‘paper’ books!) which will go into service immediately.
