Winter 2019-2020 ARTS AND CRAFTS 

WITH GRANDMA MAURINE - Peter

Maurine's

Fiber

Friends

On the second day of his visit I asked him if he would like to learn how to weave. He asked me if weaving was mechanical. I said “Yes”. 

I took him over to my floor inkle loom and showed him how to weave on it. He loved the rhythm of the weaving and wove for a while. 

I then took him over to my LeClerc Dorothy table loom and taught him how to follow the weaving pattern and weave on this loom. He 

was a natural.

The next day I taught him how to do macramé. He enjoyed making square knots and spirals. I was so proud of his ability to learn what 

I taught him so quickly. 

While he was visiting us we took him to the Nevada State Museum. My husband and his friend took him to a shooting range on another 

 day and I took him to the top of our development in Sun City Summerlin to see the beautiful scenery from a distance.
