New Years day here in Nauvoo was a day like any other, a work day. Ann was assigned to the Family Living Center. For those who have not been here, it is a large room with different stations where demonstrations and explanations are made regarding how crafts and skills were performed in Old Nauvoo.
They have two looms on which the elders weave rugs that are used in all the site homes in Nauvoo. Ann spent most of the day on a sewing machine sewing three inch strips of material end to end. The strips of material are then wound on shuttles which are used to pass the material through the threads on the loom.I spent the day as usual working in the cabinet shop. One of the projects I completed today was a holder used to hold spools of fabric tape used in the weaving process. It was requested so that the elders wouldn't have to hold the spools while unwinding the fabric tape.
