Francie Alcorn was a member of the Seattle Weavers Guild and one of its past presidents. She passed away in November 2013. Shortly before she passed away, she asked if we would coordinate the sale of the items in her amazing weaving studio on behalf of her family with the proceeds going to benefit the Seattle Weavers’ Guild. Her weaving books have been donated to the Seattle Weavers’ Guild library and the items that will not be added to the guild library will be made available for sale at a later date. The sale for the rest of her items is as follows:
