 2020 has been an unprecedented year and something that brought forward challenges for almost all of us. So many people couldn`t see their loved ones, spent days in isolation and many more challenges but most importantly, people came together when it meant the most. It won`t be entirely wrong to say that the year 2020 has been a trying year in many different ways. So from our guild to your guild and to all who follow us on our blog, we wish you all a healthy, Happy New Year for 2021.

 Next time your at the Piccadilly Mall stop by the 🎄 Shuswap Spinners and Weavers display window at the main mall entrance. Karol, a new member of the guild has taken on the job of changing the window each month. What a beautiful "Christmassy" display! 🎁






 Judith a long time member of the guild has recently moved closer to be near family. We miss her very much . Judith says ....

"Done just in time for Christmas!" It's 2/8 cotton, undulating twill, repeating warp colours as weft colours.

Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Miss you all. Please pass on my best wishes to everyone. Judith

 The snow came just in time for the first day of winter. 

What a beautiful day out there. 

Happy Solstice everyone. 🌨⛄❄




 Jacquie is another guild member. This is her last "2020" Happy Towel warp" - they were headed to Artsolutely in Vernon.  Wishing everyone a good holiday season and a wonderful 2021. Jacquie 🎄


 A post by Louise Smith, one of our guild members. Her Facebook page is "Lady Weaving in the Woods". She says ... I have completed this Ruana for an order. 100% Alpaca natural grays and choc brown with some pale gray overdyed teal and dark gray for the plaid. Washed and fulled which results in a soft, warm garment. Two long rectangles were woven and then handstitched 36" up the back matching the plaids. Stitched my design label at the inside back neckline to reinforce the back seam. 4 shaft twill. 56" across width of back and 72" plus 3" fringes in total length. Knee length on a 5'6" person. Ready for winter chills with this ruana.
