October 2025

Hello Weavers!

Fall is such a busy time for us all. Home life, work life, weaving life – each aspect of our days is filled. This is the time of beginnings — weavers guilds meetings— and, with sadness, the lazy (?) days of summer are gone. September saw us begin again with the FAIR activities and Fiber Fling at the Job Carr Museum Park. Showing the visitors what we do and how we do it!

October brings another opportunity to share our love of fiber craft as we open the Studio (our meeting place at Saint Andrews) to the public for the Open Arts Studio Tour, on Saturday October 11th as we participate in Tacoma Arts Month. You can find out more hereour members will dress up our meeting room, bringing table looms, spinning wheels, and many examples of what we make. We will not be selling, but rather promoting our SALE coming up in November during Arts at the Armory. Be sure to check that out here

For weaving inspirations, I’m feeling lured by more thoughts of Optical Hues, and by October colors – turning leaves, pumpkins everywhere, rain, fir needles, and by October scents – pumpkin spice lattes and all goodies with that wonderful smell. It feels warm.

I hope you will be able to join us in October for “Much from Little” – utilizing your handwoven leftovers.

Reminder, if you have ideas for Study Groups, contact Kitty to connect with others who also want to focus on a technique or study.

See you soon –

Weave away!

Mimi
