Twining Demo at the April Meeting

Candy (a new guild member) is demonstrating Twining using cloth strips and a twining loom she purchased.  Denita also helped with the demonstration.  Several members tried their hands at twining during the meeting.  Fun!  Wanda even made her own loom and brought it to show and her "almost-finished" rug...see pic below.

May Meeting

We will be getting back to our regular Saturday meeting dates beginning in May.  May's meeting will be on Saturday, the 15th, beginning at 10 a.m. (9:30 for shopping & socializing)

Our program will involve preliminary discussions for the Vest Project.  Participants in this project should bring an already-made vest to create a pattern from or a pattern they'd like to follow.  We will discuss how to plan the warp to fit each person's particular vest.  Feel free to bring colored pencils for design work for the warp.

Details will be discussed regarding the two Woven Basket workshops scheduled for September 7th & 21st (both are Tuesdays).  The Registration Form for these 2 classes are under the "Events" tab above.

Of course, everyone should bring their latest finished projects for "Show & Share."  

There will be a surprise "Show & Share" of a 1970s Wedding Dress which was handwoven by a guild member!  Can't wait to see this!
