Josh and Jeff. One home was a log cabin with a wraparound-porch in Aurora, Indiana. Seeing an old loom listed in the classifieds for a surprisingly low price, Rose found the old loom in pieces in the yard of the seller.“ I couldn’ t just let it rot on the ground!” she exclaimed. The loom was bought and put together on the porch of her cabin.
In 2003 they purchased land near Gnaw Bone, a location between their home in Janesville, Wisconsin, and family living in Cincinnati. Rose and Richard retired to Brown County from Janesville in 2007. Richard pursues his interest in restoring old Studebakers— he presently has three. Rose devotes time to her weaving. Josh now lives in Washington, D. C. Jeff and wife, Stephanie, live in Whiteland, Indiana, with their sons Parker and Quinn.
The Poe’ s have felt at home since arriving in Brown County. They have good friends in the car club, and Rose was supported by local fiber artists. She was a guest artist with Christ Gustin during the annual Studio Tours.
This past February, Rose was accepted as a member of the Indiana Artisans. Participants are accepted through an adjudicated process that focuses on design and quality, technique, and authenticity that best exemplifies the tradition of Indiana. The Indiana Artisan Marketplace will be added to her schedule of shows where she will show and sell her handwoven pieces. The 2015 Indiana Artisan Marketplace will be held on Saturday, March 28, and Sunday, March 29. The show is located at the Expo Hall at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
Her work will be at the following 2014 shows: Fiber Arts Show and Sale in Bloomington, November 14 and 15 to be held at the Bloomington Convention Center at 302 South College Avenue. The Brown County Winter Art and Craft Fair, on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28 and 29, sponsored by the Brown County Arts Guild at the Seasons Lodge Convention Center.
