Adding to the list of Weaving Giants

HI:  111*
LO:  89

Miss Helen Louise Allen
Mrs. Mary Meigs Atwater
Miss Florence E. House
Miss Berta Frey
Miss Evelyn DeGraw

I've found documents at handweaving.net for the top four.  Evelyn DeGraw is a mystery to me.  She was a top educator in textile design.  And her textbook is no where to be found, Textile Design in Weaving: Workbook.  I'll try an Interlibrary Loan if our library still does them.  There is a copy available at the University of Kansas, of course, where she was a professor and WorldCat had other listings.

Mrs.Clara McNulty is next up.

Finished the hanger and Rio Colorado wall hanging is in its place in the loom room.  Hanger made a cool color study.



The lavender is a bit wrong.  Think boysenberries and cream instead.
