Best of Missouri Market

The Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis last weekend was a huge success. We had beautiful weather, lots of assistance in the booth, and we sold lots of rugs. Thanks to all the return and new customers for making this show successful. I love it when customers come back for another rug and tell me how well their purchases from years past are holding up. Good testimony for the other shoppers! but mostly, I am happy that people are getting good use from their rugs.

As always, the people at BOMM - the organizers, the other vendors, the shoppers - were friendly and postive folks. Makes the weekend run smoother when people are in good humor.

So now I need to get busy weaving. Thanks to my friend, Chris, my Hammett has undergone take-up beam surgery. I'm anxious to get that back on the loom and get that loom warped again - for rugs, of course!

I have the Newcomb warped in Summer and Winter for tea towels. Maybe I'll get that warp tied to the front apron tonight so I can check for threading errors ;-) They'll be lovely towels, and since the S & W is warped in natural cotton, I can use a different color weft for each towel, if I wish. Good way to use up some smaller cones.
