September 19--"Helter-Skelter" Competition!

We may have been small in number, but that didn't keep us from having fun creating two "Helter-Skelter" woven pieces in a 45-minute time slot!  Below are the two finished pieces which have been judge by 3 independent judges.  Thanks, Carla, for planning this program and securing the judges.

Team #1:  Wally, Marie & Denita.
Team #2: Phyllis, Jane & Carla (Liana, guest, also contributed)

And the WINNER IS...... "A Walk Through the Forest."  Congrats to Team #1!

September Guild Meeting

The September meeting will be held Saturday, September 19th beginning at 10 a.m. (9:30 for shopping, etc.) at the R&M Yarns Fiber Art Studio, 8510 Hwy. 60, Georgetown, TN 37336.

The program will be "Helter-Skelter Weaving" led by Carla.  This program is actually a 2-Team Challenge to see which team can weave the craziest and most unique piece!  

All members in attendance will be divided up into 2 teams to take turns weaving on 2 pre-warped Rigid Heddle looms.  It will be a short warp that can be finished during the meeting...about an hour of weaving.

The weft yarn, material, plants, etc. will ALL be brought by the members....so be collecting any and all items that can be successfully woven!

Don't forget to bring your "Show & Share" items to keep us all inspired!  

We'll see you in September for some "Helter-Skelter" weaving fun!  

Guests are always welcome to attend.

June Guild Meeting

Our first meeting since February for the Scenic Valley Handweavers Guild is happening!  Most felt okay to meet with a few still not ready but will join us in a month or so.

The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. (9:30 for social & shopping time) on Saturday, June 20th at the R&M Yarns Fiber Art Studio (8510 Hwy. 60, Georgetown, TN).

In lieu of a scheduled program, we will all bring our projects we've finished during our isolation period and discuss "things we've learned by doing."

There is a Keurig coffee maker available with coffee and tea selections.  You may bring snacks to share if you like.

I'm looking forward to a great time of sharing!

PS:  I'm not sure we have space for the "6-feet apart suggestion" in the Studio, so please do whatever you need to do to feel safe....mask, etc.  I will sanitize surface areas in the Studio, bathroom & kitchen faucets, handles, etc.  There is plenty of hand sanitizer, soap and water available for your use as well.

March Guild Meeting--CANCELLED!

In lieu of the health risks of the coronavirus, the SVH Board has decided to CANCEL THE MARCH 21ST Guild meeting.

Hopefully we will be able to meet in April; watch for updates.

Stay healthy and safe!
