So we had a small study group back in the late 80s. And we did weaving, a weaving study group and participants wove samplers, what we called samplers, but actually they were all part of a quilt to be put together as well. I have some of my samples here, that will eventually be a quilt. So everybody had a different threading on their loom, and everybody picked different colors, and then that one person would weave 12 of these and we would exchange them so it was like a little friendship quilt is what it's called. So 12 of us or actually I think there was eight of us and some people wove to of them. We have these friendship quilts. You know, it does bring memories back and we worked to organize things to make sure they were all set up the same.
