But today I watched a Zoom Noon Chat with Mary Sue Fenner live from her Studio in Abrams WI.
This video was put on the Wisconsin Quilt Museum Face book page and if you missed this tour of her studio, her history and garments. you can catch the Chat in full soon on their facebook above. As well as few other Friday Noon Chats planned for the next few weeks.
If you can please try to send larger photos from your cell phone for our blog! coming pretty soon. I can't wait to see all the creative work form our talented guild as you can see some come across to small and if enlarged are very fuzzy.

ClareI've also been making masks, finished and mailed a knitted birthday cardigan for my sister (Omba cardigan on Ravelry in wool/cotton blend from Green Mountain Spinnery), and have continued weaving off my yardage for my jacket (Finnish Bird's Eye draft from Davison). Will probably try my hand at a wearable muslin with non-handwoven yardage while waiting for the jacket class to be rescheduled.

I Finished knitting an Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surprise jacket. But need
to find some buttons. Finished knitting an "Outlandish Capelet" made
from a kit from a friend.
While is Arkansas this winter sewed many diapers made from t-shirts
and sanitary pads for a mission in Nicaragua. Working on a quilt for
my daughter.

I made a hat which
you see being blocked on a dinner plate; made another little hat for a
new born (April 15) whose name is Roselyn, aka Rosie;  |

I knitted and felted
an Easter basket for my niece and her two daughters (filled with with
boxwood for grass and onion skinned dyed eggs)! and knitted little socks
just picking up some stash and knitting in the car. We're stuck in
Tennessee, trying to get home, but are unsure of driving back as yet.
But, the Tennessee weather is great.

I've been sewing and donating masks as well, but took a break to
get back to my basketry business as many want kits from cancelled
classes. I'm doubting that any of my classes will run the rest of the
year, they're dropping like flies as well as the summer festivals. I
plan to continue organizing and focusing on my own creative ideas if I
can get caught up on teaching proposals and kit orders!
I've been knitting's too! I made the Newfie hat with a combination
of yarns, the lighter is handspun, with a bit of silk in it I bought at
the Marquette Farmers Market last summer. I JUST finished the shawl
which is Falkland Island Handspun from a spinner on Washington Island. I
had to order another hank and wait a while for it to be able to finish.
I'm glad I went with the larger size. I need to figure a way to pin it
together. I love the colors and look, and I'm sure blocking will help it
out as well.
The first a picture of some of the masks I have been making for friends-
grocery workers - family and cancer patients.This 3rd is a very complicated (for me)19 project that took me more than a week to get on my loom. Delighted I did it. Hope to finish before stay at home is over. Called: Texas Bluebonnets. Again this is lovely I wish the pictures sent from cell phones were larger.
Laura While in Florida Laura has been Quilting. I think this Gypsy Quilt is the prettiest I Quilt I have ever seen... almost makes me want to start Quilting! then again weaving patterns are enough careful planning for me.

This pattern is also a great project in Handwoven.
Melissa's punch needle projects 
which still need to be finished.
These are amazing!
Melissa's Guild in California had a presentation from Carol James in Winnipeg Canada about sprang.
It's absolutely
fascinating it's a kind of braiding that is very elastic when finished
Carol is an excellent teacher per Melissa. If you have time check out her website.
For more information, and for educational materials, I'd like to direct people to my website

I finally finished up some "antique" warp on these rag rugs. We are
locked-down in Norway, being responsible citizens, but I haven't noticed
much difference in my life style actually. We understand!
Mary's
show and tell is her knit a long in progress with Arne and Carlos Quarantine Knit Along which is still on their blog although Carlos had the virus and is very weak even in recovery and they needed to take a break.

Here is what I have been working on this month. I draped the pattern
and constructed it with fabric that was a gift to me many many years ago
from a friend who was in the guild, Marilyn Mason.. Still need to make
button holes and hem it. It has been a good demonstration piece for my
students.
A great Finnish article about a
specific Icelandic sweater.

AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU WILL BE GROWING WILLOW | Another Salley garden in the UP.
I think that I have finished my random willow with looped fiber
overlay. Its a project I could add more to, but I think its done. Used
fibers/warp from the retreat that was cut from Laura's card loom
project. the gold and yellow brought it together.
I also crochet a
little Yoda.
I am Still working but my husband is not so with his extra help
around the house I have had some extra time for projects. The last is a
slow stitching in the works on eco dyed silk.
