Since this is a new blog that I will devote to my new business, WeaverBirds Rugs I would like to tell you a tiny bit about myself today. I am a retired nurse and have been weaving for about 10 years. When I retired I opened a small book store. I have a blog for that business at
http://readagainbooks.blogspot.com/ But I wanted to create a site devoted entirely to my weaving. I have sold off over half of my used books and torn down the shelving in center of the room. I still sell books that are on wall shelves. As a result I have room for several floor looms and some table top looms. It is my get away place and I am able to teach weaving. So thats a summary of what is going on.
I was invited to set up my sale table at a local quilt show today. It was located in a tiny town here in SW Mo. and I didn't have very high expectations at all. Population is less than 150 residents. But the bald eagles stop over here for a week or so the end of every January. The event brings quite a crowd with their fancy camera. The conservation group put on informative displays to educate the young and old alike. I couldn't believe how many came into the building to see the hand made quilts and was very pleased to sell 6 rugs and a couple of my hand woven totes. They said "I hope you come back next year," and I said "I hope you invite me"
