Welcome to 2019

We met for lunch at Chris and Ross Beech's lovely home overlooking vineyards and farmland with mountain ranges not too far distant. What a lovely, calm, soul-restoring environment.
This is only a small part of the view. I'm unsure if I would find it inspirational and a prompt to creativity, or a distraction, beckoning me away from the loom.
Anne has been working on a set of table mats in honeycomb weave, See a close-up in the next post. In the meantime Chris, Betsy and Nancy are admiring her effort.

Yes, It is just as neat on the back.


Our special friend Fern was able to come because it is school holidays. Here she is with her very own braiding work.

And here Fern is having a chat with our hostess, Chris.

Oh, and by the way, Fern's mother, Wendy, was there too. She brings not only weaving to show but also interesting books. See more from her in the next post.

Chris's weavery is like Aladdin's cave for weavers with two big floor looms and multiple pieces of equipment, books, stash . . . . We all envy her space.

Always taking note of the details, Betsy checks out the weaving on the 8 shaft loom.

Jan looks a bit intimidated by the mechanics. It's only four shafts Jan . . . you could do it.

Chris and Joan in contemplative mode.

Wendy and Fern look as though they are having an OMG moment.
That's all about us for now. Thank you Chris, for your hospitality. Next post will have photos of our Show and Tell.
