Years go by, interests morph, horizons expand, and all of a sudden you realize you are a quilter, yes...but also a spinner, weaver, knitter, crocheter, mixed media, fiber artist. The art is still from the heart, but the new name reflects my excitement with all things fiber! It's Fantabulous!Lindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07190514671072918351noreply@blogger.comBlogger229125truetag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261549336819101249.post-40838688874298140112016-06-24T09:11:00.000-07:002016-06-24T09:14:12.652-07:00Eco Dyeing Silk Scarves!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Rugs...rugs...rugs... My quilting stash is being greatly reduced by the creating of rag rugs. But, as any quality quilter knows, quilt stash is anything but rags! Even my non-quilting friend recognized the high end look of several fabrics in a particular rug. "Yep!" I responded. "There are name brands in that rug that would give quilters the willies to discover!" Such as Hoffman and Kaffe Fasset, but most painful ($$$) would probably be the Liberty of London lawn. When I invested in that particular piece it had been touted in quilt magazines as THE fabric to delight the quilter. What I found was that I am not particularly fond of the busy little print. I will admit the fabric did feel good going through my fingers onto the crochet hook...<br />
But, here is the latest batch. The majority of them are already up at the Visitor Center gallery in Tonasket, and the rest will go down to Omak and into Wooly Mama's shop.<br />

I will be doing a demo Sat., 10 a.m., on making thread flowers. It is a fun thing to do. If you are anywhere near Okanogan County come see us! New business name is Fantabulous! Fiber Arts.<br />

I will be posting works from the 'past', just to share my progression, and hopefully my improvements. This was the second project I wove. I was introduced to the Saori method of weaving, which was right in sync with who I am. So, as I wove I tried different fibers, different amounts of striping, different colors, different textures, all in a playful 'let's see what this does' weaving. I left all flaws, joined all pieces into a lap blanket and named it 'Life'.<br />
Life has its smoothly flowing times, and bumpy bits, holes and inconsistencies...playful moments, delightful passages, and when completed, it's beautiful !</div>

Hello, again, after a long winter! We closed our yarn shop and became 'retired'. I still can't stop spinning yarns, knitting, crocheting-retirement is exhausting!<br />
I am also revamping this blog beginning with the Title. My quilting has waned and my artistic outlets include so much more than that!<br />
<br />
I dye and spin.<br />

Trick or Treat? Whichever it turns out to be, Bell, Hook & Spindle is now a business of the past. This was our last day. The building is empty and the landlord has already found another renter.<br />
We were a 'success' from day one. We were supported by the local community and the Canadian tourists. We taught, we met, we sold, we laughed and cried. What a wonderful 2 years we had. How many gallons of tea were consumed?<br />
Now it is time for a new hip, healing, moving and a new life in a new community. My husband has retired twice before. He hopes that this time it will 'stick'! I will try this retirement thing for a while, but know I will keep spinning, weaving, knitting, quilting, crocheting, creating and teaching. It is in my very core to do so.<br />
I will try and keep a decent update and show and tell on this art blog in my new retirement, even though every retiree I meet says they have 'no time'! We will see, as it is all part of the journey. Have a delightfully creative day!</div>

Tonaskets Founders Day parade and celebration occurs annually on Memorial Day weekend. This year I have decked our shop windows with family heirloom quilts. <div>
The first pic shows the red and white quilt, which has a gazillion little holes in it. Apparently my great, great grandmother got a brand new mattress to put on the old springs of her bed. That new mattress cost hard cash and she wanted to protect it from the springs (this is way before box springs!), so she placed this 'old quilt between the springs and mattress to protect the mattress! Holey or not, I love this quilt and its story...</div>
<div>
The second quilt is a wonderful 30's quilt top find by my Grandmother. She had it quilted by the 'church ladies', then gifted it to me. I put the binding on it and embroidered its little history on a corner. Pristine condition and colors. Love it!</div>
<div>
The third inheritance is made up of scrappy Lone Stars. The loveliest thing about this quilt is the quantity and quality of the quilting. Tons of it! In a torn space I could pick at the batting a bit and I am guessing from the fiber I plucked out and the consistency of the batt, that it is wool that has been washed and literally put through the wringer. Aren't old quilts fun? :?}<br /><br /></div>

I am so impressed with the work of this knitter, Janet Duerst, 1920-2013. She knit these in the 1940's and I would wear any one of them this moment, 70 years later! What an artist!<br />

I went to an estate sale this weekend and found this lovely sample for the store. Doesn't everyone start their crochet career learning the Granny Square? I sure did!<br />

Rick and I wrangled the couch onto the truck and into the store this morning. The sitting area is now complete! Bring your wheels, hooks or needles and try the comfy furniture out!<br />

The Vault is coming right along, just need to add a couple of lamps for much needed lighting, and a comfortable chair or two.<br />
We are getting there!<br />

August 2013 has come and gone? I had no idea setting up a 1200 sq. ft. shop would take a month-and more! Here are pix of the latest progress. And, ready or not, Bell, Hook and Spindle will officially, quietly, open its door this coming Saturday, September 7th! Please excuse the remaining clutter, and perhaps a slight gap or two in stock. I will receive two large orders in the shop tomorrow, and have yet to finalize one more 'biggie' order for the Quilting side of the store.<br />
In honor of opening, The Charlotte Connection Spinners will come and christen the comfy seating area. They are bringing 'goodies' to snack on and I am providing my famous 5 gallons of ice tea. I may try my hand at the bloomin' tea as well, for my mentor/friend Joann (who used to own a bakery) is bringing a selection of 3 tea cookies, one of which, she told me, is lemon flavored. I might be too busy munching to actually spin?<br />
So, if you have plans to come and see Bell, Hook and Spindle, this Saturday would be a taste of what we will soon be. If you want to wait until I know how to run the till, serve the tea, all the shelves are stocked, and the quilting machine is up and running, wait until mid-October when we will be Grand Opening celebrating with open house, catered snacks, sales and specials. If you would like to be notified by email, just send me your info and I will be sure and let you know a couple weeks beforehand, when we set the date.<br />

Bell, Hook & Spindle has shelving! Almost all of it, now. And I have even begun the fun part of displaying and stuffing shelves and book racks. Here is a quick peek.<br />

Progress on the shop refurbishing is coming right along-but not at nearly the pace I had in mind. Still, today I will finish up the vault re-paint and move on to the back room and the painting of those walls. The back room will be Rick's wood working shop. We will wait to do the floors, to match the main shop floors, until the very end of the setup program so it will be in good shape for open house.<br />
Meanwhile, everything that was crammed back there has come out into the main shop. The sheer mass of stuff that was crammed in back there!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there is still a mid-arm quilting machine to place near the back wall...on its 8 foot table! And don't forget the check out counter, desk, couch, two chairs, two rockers, tea vanity...</div>

Rick has been producing the pieces and parts that make up the shelving units we will use.<br />
My job is to stain it all!<br />

Next in line to be fabricated are my 'ladders'. Yardage will hang from them. I will take pix when they are complete and loaded. It will make more sense once you see it.<br />
So, the saga continues and I hope we live to tell about it!</div>

This lovely old building is the perfect architectural fit for the flavor of Bell, Hook and Spindle, with its copper clad windows and literal brick and mortar! The huge 'brown thing' across the front of the building is all uncleaned copper. The scores of small squares at the top of the picture are 4", all original, all copper-clad panes of glass. This building must have been quite a beauty in its day. </div>

This shows the progress of painting away the powder blue walls into the 'egg wash' white Rick chose. There are several stories floating about town about why there is a vault in the store, but all seem to agree there never has been a bank in this building. My aunt and uncle owned this building for a while and told me the vault had been used as a bedroom, an office, storage, and possibly as a vault when there was a jewelry store here. I think Hidden Talents had the best and most innovative use for the vault as an art gallery. Bell, Hook and Spindle will house some art, the spinning wheels, looms and antique wood working tools for sale.<br />

So, things are progressing! By this weekend we hope to begin putting together all the shelving units Rick has been building. Then all things from the back room version of Bell, Hook and Spindle, and everything crammed into the vault will be brought into the clean, new space. Then the ceiling/walls/flooring refurbishing will be repeated in the back room and a little in the vault. So far we've come. So far to go! But I am still working hard to make a September Grand Re-opening! Wish us luck!<br />

I am in awe of shop owners that carry a broad selection of totally varied fabric styles. I want to shop for what I like/love! I know I will have to get beyond that... so, what style of fabric do you buy most often? </div>

Next week husband Rick and I will sign the lease for Bell, Hook & Spindle's new home. Meanwhile I am finishing up an ending inventory, which becomes our starting inventory. I have begun our wholesale purchasing. Rick has found a couple more antique spinning wheels for us, but is all about store fixture building at this time. There are business accounts to set up or shift, fixtures to buy, books on retailing to read, moments of terror, days of excitement... <br />
Meanwhile, life as we know it continues. Last Saturday was our spinning group meeting up in Tonasket. One of the spinners took this picture of me and Slippers. I had to place a finger behind her ears to get them 'up', as they were firmly planted 'down' in disgust for being held on her backside. Have I told you she is a princess? But such a pretty princess!<br />

My 'boss', husband Rick, is a stickler for keeping records and doing things right, so yesterday and today are ending inventory days. When I finish, we will have a fresh start for Bell, Hook & Spindle. The way things are working out, we will sign the rental agreement for August 1st occupation. I will go in and start the eggshell white painting of all the walls. Rick is beginning to construct the display cases I have asked for. We will be closed the entire month of August getting the store ready for its Grand Re-opening. Yay!!!<br />
I had a customer in the other day that sat on a stool eye-ing the wool batt selection as I told her of our plans to expand into the entire store. She nodded and said, "Good! Because it is a bit claustrophobic back here!" And she is right! You have to be in the actual space to grasp how much I have crammed into that small backroom! When we spread out, and fill in, the store will still be pretty full! I have purchased a mid-arm quilting machine for public rental. I will have my personal sewing machine set up in a corner for teaching classes and demos. Of course there will be a sitting area with a couch, 2 big chairs and 2 rockers on a carpeted area for spinning, knitting, crocheting, and Tea @ 3. There is space for class tables, 1 or 2 as needed. One half of the store will be quilting related, the other half, fiber arts. Can you tell I am so very excited about working on our dream? <br />
Meanwhile, back at home, I have our Angora producing stock, Slippers is in her mansion, being waited on hand and foot. I am looking forward to the day she is ready to let go of her coat! The breeder showed me how to sheer her if I choose to 'harvest' that way, but meanwhile I have been combing her coat to make sure she stays clean and fluffy. She has lovely gray fur, white belly, white tail (if you can find it!), clean face from the Rex side of her breeding. Her 3 colored fur is called agouti. If I sheer her, and carefully lay out the clips to spin from, I am supposed to be able to get a little variegation going in the yarn. How neat is that?<br />
So, if you ever pass through Tonasket, WA, be sure to stop in and say, "Hi!".<br />

I am sure I am not alone in thinking time passes so quickly-even more quickly when the days are packed with activities and tasks! While the ANWG Conference (Weavers) was a 1 1/2 day set up, 3 day show, 1 1/2 day take down and long drive home, it went so quickly-in hindsight!<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"> </span><br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">What an exciting parade of people in their
woven creations; scarves, shawls, bags, coats, vests, belts,
sashes...so beautiful, creative, some absolutely stunning. Had 3
adventurous persons buy the Bison fluff. One plan was to spin lace
weight and make a shawl! Would love to see that one! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">I had a doctor appointment
upon my return and I was amazed I had not gained weight<span class="text_exposed_show">...not
only since last year, but since this last week's cafeteria offerings! It must have been the walking from dorm to cafeteria to vendor mall to
cafeteria to dorm each day. I didn't move my truck from its space at the
dorm once I had received a ticket for parking any place else. :?{ I met
lots of fun people and let them know where to find Bell, Hook &
Spindle!</span></span><br />
And, I have installed my first fuzz machine in my office. Her name is
Slippers, an Angora/Rex cross, that will provide fluff for me to spin.
She is super calm, gorgeous colors and will make an excellent shop
mascot. Once she is settled into our new shop and comfortable with
me and everyone else, I may have to find a friend for her, who will be
named Fu Fu, of course. And then...a date with an English Angora buck,
perhaps? A few of Slipper's tales will be posted on the Living With Loki page on this blog.<br />

I am into the countdown mode regarding the Weaver's Conference in Bellingham this week. Tomorrow I pack, I mean PACK, my truck with all my earthly wooliness, all day, until I drop. Wednesday morning I rise and shine and head for the North Cascades route over to the West Side of Washington State. I am more than slightly pumped for this trip and experience. I have never vended a Weaver's Conference before and reading what the other vendors are offering I can tell it might be 'dangerous' for me to leave my booth...it seems there will be many unique treasures available. Oh, dear...<br />
So, wish me luck if you live far away. And come come say, "Hi", if you live close enough to do so!<br />
Have a good evening!<br />

Is there anything more exciting and simultaneously terrifying than deciding to open a brick and mortar to house your dream? We are looking at buildings, doing the math, continuing to research, buying stock and equipment (so far, a rigid heddle loom, and a mid-arm quilting machine).<br />
Meanwhile, back at the back room version of Bell, Hook & Spindle, some classes are being taken from me, some wool is going out the door and a spinning group has been born. Just to make sure I am totally exhausted at all times, I booked myself for four shows to be a vendor at-two down and two more to go. This weekend I babysit Sally's shop (and mine)<br />

while she gets a much needed break. The weekend after this I am at Whitworth College in Spokane, WA at a spinner's conference. Two weeks after that I am in Bellingham, WA vending a weaver's conference. By then we should have a building to come home to and begin filling it up and getting ready to open! Which brings me right back to my opening line regarding excitement and terror... :?}</div>

This evening I miss my Gramma Keagle...I was a fairly 'good girl' today and accomplished the dishes/dusting/vacuuming mantra which in turn 'entitled' me to spin. I have been working with 50/50 Blue Face Leicester and Tussah Silk. It spun fairly thin and I got to thinking that a two-ply would make lovely socks-if I only knew how to make socks! That made me think wistfully and lovingly about my Gramma K. <br />
That woman made bread by touch, propagated African violets like nobodies' business, and could/would knit or crochet anything a grand child asked for. Yes, my sister and I really took advantage of that fact as teenagers. Our favorite remembrance is when my sis stopped by Gramma's on the way to High School and asked her to whip up a little 'bun holder' in a color to match her outfit. (The in-thing back then was to put your hair in a pony tail, then place the crocheted little net-like piece over the wadded up hair to make a bun). Fifteen minutes later, my freshly bunned sister was off to school.<br />
<br />
My request was much later, and much larger. I was working on appliqueing old crocheted doilies onto quilt blocks and decided this quilt would HAVE to have crocheted lace edging on the entire outer edge... I found a delicate, gorgeous pineapple pattern that seemed perfect and went to see Gramma. She looked over the pattern and said, "I swore I would never work a number 7 hook again in my life!". But she did, for me. There was a slight catch though. She insisted she wouldn't do this lace for me unless I learned to do it as well, in case she died mid-construction. She was in her late 80's then and lived to be 95. We agreed she would do three sides and I would do one side.<br />
<br />
What a gift that lace was! Not just the fact she made it for me, but the fact she insisted I learn to do it. I would take my ever growing length of pineapple lace out to a coffee shop or restaurant, order a cup of tea and brazenly lay the work out for one and all passers-by to admire as I crocheted. Honestly, I milked the praise and admiration for all it was worth. I was SO proud of me and my lace! That fall I entered my length of lace in the county fair and won a Best of Section rosette. A real 'chest puffer upper'!<br />
<br />
Gramma Keagle is gone now, and I will have to find someone else to teach me how to make my own socks. Miss you, Gramma.</div>
