(Thanks for the photos and DIY captions, weavers!)

From Sherron: Kitchen towels from "Strickler in Color". #43 p 16 8/2 Cottolin set @ 24 epi. Weft 8/2 Cottolin. Woven size 24"x36". After washed, dried, and hemmed, 21.5x30". Each towel took approximately 3 hours to weave without redoing caught errors. Am I super slow?

From Jacque: I love the idea of sharing what we’ve been working on during this time that we’re all stuck at home. I’ve been making up a sample book of wool yarn dyed with Lanaset dyes. I made up 5 gram skeins of yarn and dyed them in batches - one in each canning jar. That way you get seven dye baths in one dye session (or 14 if you have 2 dyepots).

And Jacque wove a rug with 10 epi warp and 2" strips of quilting fabric sewn together at 45 degree angles to reduce bulges where strips are joined.

I only have one picture of a throw which is lovingly named He-Throw by my husband. My tiny dog thinks it's hers. It gained its name because Ken is over 6 feet tall and nothing fit him well, so this particular double weave chenille throw is 60 by 72. When he sits down he can even cover his feet! The rest of my stuff has been just fun projects to stretch my skills. Several totes in tubular double weave, a couple of smaller throws, and LOTS of towels just on different patterns to try new stuff. It was so great to hear from you again. Looking forward to the seminar!
