From the Dust Jacket
January 17, 2010
“I can really claim a variety of experience, from art school in Paris, to decoding secret messages in a wild spot in Mexico, to cooking with llama dung on a mud stove in high Bolivia, to escorting homicidal insane men on a country walk, to – oh, well, fairly unusual bits of adventure……”
A quote attributed to Mary Meigs Atwater, in a biographical work entitled “Weaving a Life,” compiled by Mary Jo Reiter. Ms. Reiter goes on to say that if Mary Meigs Atwater had never thrown a shuttle, her life would have been fascinating. But throw a shuttle she did – and very well at that – along with creating The Shuttle-Craft Guild and Weaving Studio.
This book is in our library, along with two books authored by Mary Meigs Atwater. All good reads. I’ll bring them to the next NOBO meeting with the thought that perhaps someone will want to take one or more of them home.

Thanks for doing book reviews AND then bringing the book to NOBO.
A very good librarian indeed!
I’ve already picked out my two books and can’t wait to read them.
Kathie – thanks for the kind words. As you know, we have an excellent collection in our library; hopefully, we will soon start to see more members taking advantage of this.
