October 28-31, 2010 was indeed a time of tapestry magic at Camp Mikell near Toccoa, GA. In addition to eight members of the Chattahoochee Handweavers Guild, there were seven attendess from as far away as Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida. It was a delightful and compatible group. We had a wonderful time weaving and sharing. I want to post a few pictures to share as well.

Class made; a few spaces open

I emailed with Pat Williams yesterday. The class that she and Tommye are teaching this October at Camp Mekell is a go with a couple of spaces remaining. Should be loads of fun and I have heard that the food is wonderful. If you are interested but were unsure if you could attend, but now know that you can be there, contact Pat or Tommye to see if the spaces are still available.

Tapestry Workshop-Beginners to Intermediate

Pat Williams and Tommye Scanlin are teaching a tapestry workshop October 28-31, 2010. It will be held at Camp Mikell near Toccoa, Georgia. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn from experts and have lots of fun too! If you are interested, please contact Tommye, Pat, or even me, Terri Bryson. The workshop is sponsored by Tapestry Weavers South.

Weft Interlock Details

I recently did some research on how to best use the joining technique known as "Weft Interlock." It turns out that it's a little more complicated than I had thought. I've posted details with photos on my blog, Tangled Web. Check it out.

Thanks for the tip, Jan!  Yes... this little trick is one that I finally learned from Archie Brennan.  I did a few photos about it at my website.
