Manitoba Craft Museum

I finally got to Winnipeg to visit the Manitoba Craft Museum. It is just off Kennedy Street among a lot of one way streets. Luckily, Yvonne knew where to go.

The museum has a library and a small exhibit  area. Yvonne was able to borrow three books on bobbin lace, as she is a member. I enjoyed looking at the displays and trying out a loom. Lots of fun!!

Sit down loom.  Just the right size.

Here is a sample of what I was able to weave in about 5 minutes.

Putting the shuttle through the warp threads.
Fun!  Addictive!  Meditative?!
