June Market Days have been quite interesting. We have had mostly sunny and warm days on Saturday. Tuesday market day has been off and on rain. This is the Midwest. so , wait 5 minutes and the weather will change..
Market sales have been good through the month. I am glad for that,recently I have sold rugs to people from California, Colorado, New York, and just this past Saturday to a family from New Zealand. Thank you to all visitors to our state of Iowa and City of Davenport Iowa. It was great to meet you!
My recent weavings have been denim with red stripes and also some tan corduroys. Also some burgundy corduroy rugs. They all look so pretty and they are of course durable.
I also have an order for special colors,and a rug with fringe. I only make rugs with fringe for special orders, usually my rugs are bound ends. This one will be extra fun to make since it will be tan, burnt orange, black, and aqua.I plan to make it on brown and beige warp. I believe it will be beautiful when completed. Such great colors!
Iam looking forward to the month of July. We will have some great events going on along our river front during the month.. July 4th Red White and Boom, Baseball with the River Bandits, RAGBRI(The ride across Iowa on bicycle) The Bix road race, and that is just to name a few.
The Freight House Farmers Market along the Great Mississippi River will be humming during the month..Everyone try to visit the market, you just might find that special item you have been missing.
Look for me at the market, I will have new rugs on my display each week, since I am weaving most days of the week.
It will be great to see you!
