Today was the quarterly Saturday meeting of the Carolina Handspinners. The group meets monthly at the community center in Lowell on the second Tuesday of the month. Quarterly however we meet on Saturday at a member's home. This allows us poor working stiffs to attend.
Nora was a wonderful host.
 |
| Beth, Will and Christina settling into to spin. Nora showed us the stack of quilts her mother made during her lifetime. They now have pride of place in Nora's home. |
 |
Pam, Ann, Chris and Will. Will and Ann used their drop spindles. You can see we spin some, chat some and of
course eat some. |
 |
| Shirley "vogueing" for the camera. |
 |
Nora, Shirley and Burgl discuss our food options. Nora made a really delicious ham and bean soup and homemade bread.
Everyone else brought additional treats. We never lack for food. |
 |
| Nora got some spinning in with her hosting duties. |
 |
| See there was actually some spinning accomplished, the two Pams and Ann. |
 |
| Jan and Shirley spinning and knitting. |
I always forget how much I enjoy spinning and knitting in the company of friends. It is relaxing but also reignites the desire to spin more and better.
 |
| This my tapestry sampler. The yarn is some random scraps of needlepoint yarn that I scrounged up. The color combo leaves a lot to be desired but I am focusing on becoming familiar with the process. |
