Well, I got through the Beyers Bunte 2007 book and added all the Niebling patterns I was able to identify. I have a whole bunch of patterns I was not able to identify as Nieblings. I’d like to add them on a page of their own so you all can help me identify them, but I am struggling with adding a new page. GEEEZ! I’ll keep working on it LOL!

So, I had a doctors appointment in Boulder, CO yesterday and my daughter Sarah, my pseudo-daughter Melissa, and my grandson, Zildjian decided to tag along. I suggested that since we were going to Boulder anyway, I always wanted to stop by the Schacht factory just to see what there was to see.
Upon arriving, a very sweet receptionist seemed excited that we stopped by, equipped all of us with safety glasses and started the tour. It is interesting that they do not have an inventory of wheels and looms sitting around, but rather parts. Equipment is assembled as orders come in. Before we left, my shirt was soaked from all the drooling and mark my words, I will have a Schacht Reeves 30-inch cherry wheel before I die. Hope you like the pictures and if you are ever in Boulder, by all means stop and take a quick tour!  Sanding Belts
 A very special loom they were building while we were there. The biggest they make ... for rugs.  Three Lady Bugs all in a row ... they are so cute!
 Hey, I need one of those!
 My next wheel OK. I am dedicated to getting all my Niebling patterns indexed and updated. I added two more patterns this morning. I’ve always know this one as Quadratische Decke, but this particular magazine calls it Spitzendecke. That’s one of the problems with Niebling patterns … they morph themselves … with new names.

The to-do list includes: Update the Nieblings Did you notice the lack of domestic chores? As I age (I’m 51) I’ve decided that life is just too short for things like cleaning. I’ve turned to paying my college-age children to clean my house. A match made in heaven LOL! Hang in there with me. I’m learning how to set this all up. I know you probably stopped by looking for my Niebling patterns. I think I’ve got the link working. Crossing my fingers. |
