Yesterday I began weaving the second painted area on my workshop warp. \u00a0I did not finish this scarf although I was able to finish the first scarf in one day. \u00a0After experimenting with various weft colors and weave structures, I found that either plain weave or a straight 1 through 8 treadling sequence looked the best on my brightly colored warp. \u00a0I knew I probably couldn’t stand to weave two yards of plain weave. \u00a0Now I realize that I could just barely<\/em> stand to weave two yards of straight treadling!<\/p>\n

The first scarf was woven in an advancing twill treadling that had a 72 treadle progression. \u00a0This kept me on my toes! \u00a0I found I was soon yawning through the simple \u00a0 \u00a01 – 8 repeat of the second scarf…. \u00a0I ended up watching streaming episodes of “Call the Midwife” to keep myself awake!….and still, I didn’t finish. \u00a0Hopefully today!<\/p>\n

By the time I was painting the second scarf on this warp during the workshop, time was getting very short! \u00a0I opted for my simplest photo of a vase of various lilies that I had cut from my son’s garden.<\/p>\n

Here is a little tour of some of the NEWS exhibits. \u00a0First, the guild exhibits:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rhode Island Guild did an entire exhibit related to books. \u00a0The pieces on display were either inspired by literature or had to do with book making.<\/p>\n

Sorry the focus is a bit off in this photo. \u00a0Still, I had to include it because it gave me such inspiration for making bags! Part of the Connecticut Guild’s display was a handbag making project that one of the area groups had completed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Boston Guild has published a book of weaving patterns to celebrate their 75th anniversary. \u00a0Their exhibit showcased the projects from the book against a backdrop of pages from the book. \u00a0This may be my favorite project from the collection! \u00a0Certainly it will be the one I tackle first from this terrific book!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a stunning towel woven by my friend Emily<\/a> from the New Hampshire guild. \u00a0Perfect color and structure choices!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think there was a year’s worth of inspiration in the guild exhibits alone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
