Announcing the WRSW 2020 Spring Weaving workshop – Yer Granny’s Overshot at Lake Metroparks Farmpark. Please see attached flyer.  As of 11/1/19 we have only 2 spaces left in this exciting workshop.  Please contact WRSW Workshop Chairman Nancy Curtiss for availability.  330.995.3811or nancy@truthforlife.org .  We will also have a wait list.

Now open to non-WRSW members as of November 1!

Yer Granny’s Overshot – with Janet Dawson – March 28 & 29, 2020

This round robin workshop will cover overshot basics like identifying blocks, tromp-as-writ, star vs. rose fashion, and opposites. With that foundation, we’ll move beyond traditional patterns and treadling to variations like Italian, flamepoint, swivel, petit point, shadow, treadled as lace, and more. If time allows, we’ll also look at name drafting and other methods of designing original overshot patterns for four shafts.

 

The cost of our comprehensive overshot workshop includes pre-wound warps and weft, as well as substantial handouts.

January 7, 2019 By Nancy Leave a Comment

She writes:

Is anyone planning to attend MLH in Holland, MI this year? The conference is May 30-June 4th. I just booked a room at Haworth Inn to avoid all the dorm craziness. Plus it has AC, continental breakfast, parking, etc. The cost per person (two queen beds) is approx the same as the dorms and much nicer! I’m looking for a roommate! Please contact me at (216)299-0676. Registration for MLH begins January 7th.
I will be out of the country Jan 17- 24 so leave a message on my home phone (440)473-2244 and I’ll return it when I get back.

Textile and Fiber Sale

September 19, 2016 By Jean Leave a Comment

Final week — Textile and Fiber Sale. Excellent values!
Years of travel and purchasing fabrics in villages around the world resulted in a fascinating textile collection and full closets which need to be cleared.  I have hundreds of textiles suitable for mounting, sewing, creating, quilts, and enjoyment.  Also handmade dolls from Bhutan, Tibet, Laos, Guatemala and a few other countries.
 
Textiles from Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Burma, 
Tibet, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan
Peru, Guatemala
 
Felting supplies (including merino wool at $1 an ounce) and feltable fabrics
Silk cocoon strippings in various natural colors, throwsters waste, cocoon rods, and silk noils
 
Many different weights of chiffon in wonderful colors which were purchased when we lived in England from the Indian shops.  They are fantastic on art quilts and collages; plus they nuno felt so easily.  There are easily 100 different shades available. 
Wednesday, September 21, 10:00-5:00
11550 Colchester Drive, 44023 Chagrin Falls/Auburn Twp/Burton (varies by GPS)
OR call/contact for a time to visit  440 543-8138/cell 440 478-4051; dunlevey@windstream.net
