September Meeting Wrap

 

       The formal part of the meeting went quickly and it was on to Show and Share and then the 2026 Guild Challenge Reveal.  Unfortunately Candy couldn't make the meeting, so Paula kicked it off and wrapped it up perfectly.  The photo's above are some from both the sessions.

July's Program was Great!

Today's program given by Carla was very informative.  We learned the 3 basic methods of warping a rigid heddle loom but focused on the "Hybrid" method using a small warping board.  Using the warping board eliminates the need to walk back and forth for a long warp as in the "one-peg" method.

Carla is demonstrating the "Hybrid" warping method below using her 16" Ashford RH loom and a 4.5-yard Schacht warping board.  (She found having a 2nd set of hands was very helpful!)
