Part Two of Eureka Springs Rug Camp with Wendy Miller.....

 Part two of camp with Wendy Miller was just a little quieter than part one, but not by much.I think all the ladies had a great time and are going to have beautiful rugs.

Linda was part of the first camp but her hubby called the second morning with chest pains so she left in a run.Everything was OK with him so she came back with him in tow.She finished class and he got a few days rest.

 These two pics are my rug. I really love how it is turning out.It is a very big rug!

 Betty from Springfield.

 Janet from Shell Knob,Mo. I wish the colors of the rug showed up better because it is beautiful.

 Diane from Hot Springs Village,Ar. This is a rug of her own design and I love it.

 Aileen from Hot Springs Village,Ar.

 Linda from Manon,Mo.

Joanie from Hot Springs Village,Ar.

 Barbara from Jefferson,Ks.

 Wanda from Mount Ida,Ar.

 Food is always a bug part of camp and here is some of the ladies setting down to dinner.

 This is the time we really get to know each other.What fun breaking bread together.

 By-the-way, this is from "Gumbo"night. For the ladies that have been here before, yes,I can cook gumbo with Adam.

  Martha from Coffeyville,Ks.

 Here Wendy is demoing something.For the life of me I remember with because I got busy taking pictures.I think it was a hit-or-miss border.

 More demoing.

 Georgia and Wanda hard at work.

 Miss Aileen working on her button jar.

I would like to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU, to Wendy Miller for all her hard work for my camp here in Arkansas.Also to the lovely Linda that came with Wendy as her helper,we loved having you here and I am sorry I did not get a picture of you.

I am working on the next Camp and I will let you know when everything is set.

No Longer a Want-to-be Weaver......

 I have always wanted to learn to weave, but never had the chance. But now that I am spending time in Springfield, I am very close to the Springfield Art Association so I am taking advantage of some of the classes they have.

 This was a 7 week rag weaving class I took with teacher Shelley Wilcoxson.

 I did 4 place mats,1 table runner and 6 mug rugs.

 This is what it takes to warp a table loom, it is called a warping broad.It looks very cool but it is a pain in the butt.  

 Shelley (left) worked with each of us as we warped the looms.

This is the loom I worked on.I have a big floor loom at home  that I really want to learn to use.After this class I think I am ready to give it a try.

I have Eureka Springs Rug Hooking Camp starting next week so I am off to Arkansas this weekend.Check back for pictures from camp.


Live Deeply,
