Complex Weavers Seminars

I cannot remember which seminars I chose way back in February but was happy, like most people, with the ones that I was given:
     Looms of SE asia 
     Advanced Inkle Weaving Techniques
     Weaving fringes found in early American Coverlets
     Lituanian weaving
     Designing multishaft crackle
     Designing, weaving and wearing tartan
I don't take photos in seminars because I try to concentrate on listening and taking notes. But I couldn't resist a photo of this neat fringe.

 One evening there as a fashion show. Usually this takes place after dinner with attendees walking through the dining hall showing off their weaving. This year an auditorium was available which scared some weavers not used to walking on stage. So Grete asked me to model her scarf. In return she gave me a Lillian Whipple card. The bee weaving is 1 inch long and half an inch high. Darrly Lancaster was the MC.
I helped Janet Stollnitz display those hand wovens that were not suitable for the stage like scarves and table napery. It was hard to keep weavers from handling the exhibited works. But guarding the exhibits kept me away from the silent auction going on at the other end of the hall.


 It was lovely to spend time with my Waterford Weaver mates, Liz, Melissa and Linda. Jo enjoyed them too.
The seminars were held at the 4H centre = head, heart, hands and health.
