Our plan for today’s gathering with Mary & Stan was for two of us to set up our rigid heddle looms and to some weaving while we talked and compared notes on our summer rambles. They spent the month of September exploring various spots in North Carolina!

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation.
