MARCH 1,2025
Rosalie Neilson's presentation on Rep Weave.
"What attracted me to weaving was the color I found in weft-faced and warp-faced block weaves. Being part Scandinavian, I gravitated to the Swedish technique of warp-faced rep, and began to explore the complexity of geometric designs created by the interchange of two layers of color." Rosalie Neilson
On February 26,27,28 Rosalie will be giving a 3 day workshop--
APRIL 5, 2025
Cally Booker will be presenting a program on The Two Faces of Twill. "A double-faced twill is a twill woven with two wefts on a single warp layer. One weft is woven in a 1/3 twill and the other in a 3/1 twill. The shafts are carefully chosen so that the two weft picks can slide right over each other."

Our final meeting of the year will be full of fun and prizes!
