[Nfb-krafters-korner] My Macomber Loom

Encourage  them to teach visually impaired/blind folks to work on this  
loom.  We will be having hopefully some folks from CT that work with the  blind 
on floor looms speaking to us after the holidays.

Just  wanted to share two things this morning with you.
First, I found a HOME for  my treasure, my Macomber Loom. It is the 
cadillac of weaving looms, and mine  was a large one with a 48 inch weaving space, 
and 6 harneses. I had to find a  new home for it after losing my sight 
because I needed my weaving room for my  tech stuff and made my weaving studio 
into my office and where I run  everything from. 

I wanted to find the perfect home for my loom - and I  believe I did.  I 
have gifted it to the Harmony Museum in Harmony, PA.  They have the Weaver's 
House on the museum grounds there and the weavers there  are so thrilled to 
get this loom. It is far beyond anything they have been  using there - and 
they said they would be making it the centerpiece of their  weaving program. I 
am thankful that my treasured loom has gone into the museum  program so 
that it can be used and that others can learn to weave with it,  too. Next 
week, I am doing a Christmas Market at the museum,. so I hope to go  visit my 
loom and see her in her new home.
