PHOTOS from April Meeting:

Annie showing the front and back of her täkänä inspired by a Finnish täkänä design.

Phyllis showing a rosepath rag rug she wove while teaching the rag rug workshop at the folk school.  Phyllis showing a Maltese Cross overshot mat and treadle sampling.

Sue Ellen and Marci showing Marci's samples woven from her study of the Collingwood Rug book.

Here is Gretchen with stencil prints she made in Kirsten Aune's workshop.

Gretchen knit the hats using a pattern she decoded from a sweater donated to the Finnish American Folk School that was knit by Melvi Grosnick of Traprock Valley who was a Finnish American and lived to be 104.

Kathie with her täkänä woven for her son's 30th anniversary of priesthood.

Sue Ellen and her rug woven almost entirely from used socks people gave her.

The Buellwood Weavers Guild name draft and drawdown Phyllis found in Marilyn Mason's archive.

Here Sean shows his cardwoven bands (the narrow one in linen and the wider one in knitting yarn with no color change that really enhances the structure) a towel in point twill.

Here is Karen's work.  The rag rug was woven in Phyllis' workshop in rosepath using the two-shuttle technique.

She was readying to teach basketry at Shenandoah.  The three small forms are salt cellars, the simple form she holds shows a successful corner and the complex basket expressive of the times we are living in.

See you soon!
