Share Your Story

We want to invite each of you to offer your personal stories and thoughts about how and when you started weaving, how you met Helen and Linda, or why you enjoy coming to the shop. If you knew or worked with Grace Kabel, we would love to have stories about your time with her! Your personal experiences are interesting and they'll add a homey touch for our web visitors. We'll all get to know more about each other, too.

Customer testimonies about the services, quality of the material s, the teaching excellence or any positive experience you've had are also welcome.

If you would like to see your story posted on the web, you can use the ideas below to get started. You can participate even if you don't like to write. Just offer short answers and we'll do the rest. We can use quotes, insights, or simple ideas. If you offer a complete story, we'll edit for grammar and space concerns.

Please visit the website and offer your ideas for suggestions or improvement. It's brand new and funds for it are low so we want our time to be well spent as we develop it.
