Welcome to Autumn

The topic for the March meeting was Summer and Winter. Anne had sent for Cross Country Weavers' samples which arrived in abundance. There was a great selection to show how versatile this technique is. Chris and Joan had each set up a table loom in S&W so everyone could have a try to see how it works. Betty had already been experimenting on her loom and had done several variations on her sample warp.
Betty's excellent sampler. Note the many CCW sample cards on the table.


Two looms, two different possibilities for Summer and Winter


This topic was in preparation for a Summer and Winter workshop some of our members were planning to attend following the Education Event in Nelson in May. Unfortunately the coronovirus problems besetting the country (in fact the whole world) have caused the cancellation of this event along with many others.  All is not lost though . . . there is plenty of time to study and practice  so that our members will be ahead of the game when it eventually gets rescheduled. 

More photos in a few days.
