Camp Tuck

September 13, 2017/0 Comments/in New Baskets, Out and About with Basket Weavers /by Annetta K

Now cutting and tucking may not be your favorite part of weaving a basket, but you really should put ‘Camp Tuck’ on your weaving event bucket list.  Land of Lincoln Basketweavers Association (LLBWA) hosts ‘Camp Tuck’ each September in Bloomington/Normal, Illinois.

  

This year LLBWA hosted 5 teachers at Camp Tuck:

 

 

 Nancy Matthews and Char Ciammaichella (Hiding from the camera! I’ll get you next time Char!),

 

Laura Lee Zanger, Julie Kleinrath and me.

I taught five basket classes:

  

Painted Paper Trays

 

So many color choices – so many beautiful little baskets!

 

I also taught a couple of new baskets.  Beach Bum is a quick little basket for any level weaver, and everyone’s basket turned out lovely!  You can find the pattern here – and its only $3!

   

On Saturday I taught T-Tray

 

From my pictures you would think that everyone was weaving the T Tray in blue … not true.  There were several colors to choose from, seems I only got good pictures of the blue baskets! This really is a lovely basket and worth all the time they put into it – one of my past students won ‘Best of Show’ with it!  Congratulations Pamela!

Sunday’s class was another new basket.  Spirals is another all level basket and made for a relaxing way to end the weekend.  This pattern is also $3 and can be found here.

Camp Tuck is a wonderful event.  A tasty lunch is served daily, every one is very helpful and friendly and the location is perfect – roomy and close to hotels and restaurants. I always enjoy attending.  Thanks for having me!

And if you are interested in learning more about LLBWA and Camp Tuck (as well as their other events: Spring Fling and Starved Rock) check out their website -www.llbwa.com.    You’ll be glad you did!

Thanks for reading the Basket Teacher!
