Friends of the Watertown Regional Library, in association with North Country Fiber Fair, presents an author talk and demonstration by Margaret Stump.

Margaret Stump has been weaving on pin looms for over forty years. (Actually, it’s closer to fifty, going on sixty, but she would prefer not to admit it.) Margaret is the author of three books: Pin Loom Weaving, Pin Loom Weaving To Go, and Adorable Beasts: 30 Pin Loom Woven Animals & 4 Playscapes. She is a regular contributor to national fiber and craft magazines including Handwoven, Easy Weaving with Little Looms, Spin Off, and Yarn AU, with a current total of forty-three projects/articles to her name. While Margaret has explored many styles of weaving, she has always returned to pin looms, finding that their size and ease of use made them optimum building blocks for her creative efforts. She most enjoys sharing this portable form of weaving with others and introducing the idea that weavers, like knitters and spinners, can sit in a circle and create. Margaret lives in Minnesota with her husband, Jerry. She happily shares lots of pin loom techniques, projects and videos at her website, pinloomweaving.com.
