September 2023 Buellwood Weavers and Fiber Artist Guild

We had a few members show up for our September meeting. Our first Saturday meeting for 2023. 

Sean brought in a flower press 25 plus year old Flower press which he is giving to David for his classroom. David shared picture of his willow garden tower ‘Miss Willow’ he made with Poppy at the Bark and Willow symposium, which took place in early September. David also shared a jelly roll quilt he made. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of his beautiful quilt.

Judy brought in her Willow tension tray she made at the symposium with Poppy, along with the birch tray and the birch stars in a class with Karen T.

Karen make bags out of Japanese textiles Kasuri , and Obi Kimono Silk.

Here are some samples of Japanese silk she shared.

Anita has been making wool ornaments that she plans to bead and hang. We have not seen Anita for a while so It was great to have her join us. Welcome back Anita!

This beautiful lace knitting was a project in progress it is only a 6 row repeat but looks a lot more complicated.I am sorry to say I did not remember who this ambitious knitter was. Please send me your name and I will add it to our blog.

Mary B made a birch bark Journal with Karen T at willow and bark . What a great project now to add some art or memories in the journal.

Mary finished 5 placemats with the 3 shuttle Finnish rug weaving warp and only two were close to the same length!

 

 Next meeting is November 18 at 1:00 pm in the Fiber Studio

Phyllis will share her experience in Finland this fall.
