Today I declared the warp for the conference 'done'. There is very close 65 yards of fabric on the cloth storage roller.
The cloth will be used for various conference purposes, such as decoration, name tags, souvenir tea towels/thank you gifts.
Some people don't realize just how far in advance preparations for such an event begin. We actually started last year, booking the Civic Centre and our keynote speaker, Abby Franquemont.
Since then we have been in discussion with other instructors and are beginning to receive their information.
Yesterday we toured one of the hotels near the Civic Centre and reserved all of their meeting rooms. Once I have all of the instructor information (maximum size of class, audio/visual aids required, other equipment such as sinks, etc.,) I can begin to slot instructors into appropriate rooms.
Our aim is to make this a quality event for all participants. It's going to be a bit of a challenge because we are a small town, but it is a small town with a big heart.
In the meantime, I've got a 45 yard warp of table runners to get into this loom...toot sweet...

Congratulations on getting that loooong warp off the loom! I know it's not finished (how will you wash something so huge?), but this is a huge accomplishment!
It will be cut apart into manageable chunks.
Congrats Laura! I hope you're feeling a little spike in energy, having the "sword of Damocles" removed :) Looks lovely!
