Change of venue for June, July and September SVH Guild Meetings

The SVH Guild meetings for June, July and September will be held at the Birchwood Center. Phyllis Narus has arranged a room from 9:00AM - 2:00PM on the Saturdays the guild meets those months. 

There will be more information posted to the blog as the day for the meeting gets closer and the meeting reminder goes out (e.g. Birchwood Center address). 

As an agenda item for the June meeting please add a discussion on whether we want to consider not holding Summer meetings as attendance is much lower in the summer months. 

Carla Boudrot is the meeting chair for the June 15th meeting. The June program is Tablet Weaving (Chris Bidrim leading).

Elaine Bradley Workshop Reminder

This is a reminder to sign up for the September Elaine Bradley 2 day workshop. Details are under the Workshops tab.

The workshop will open up to non-members of the SVH Guild on Monday, April 1st, so members grab your spot before Monday.

Also, for those renting looms from Phyllis, she is suggesting we meet at her Studio before the workshop to warp the looms together. Day TBD as we get closer to the workshop date. At this time 4 of the 7 looms are reserved.

March SVH Guild Meeting Reminder

The next SVH Guild meeting is Saturday, March 16th, at R&M Yarns. Social and shopping starts at 9:00AM with the meeting commencing at 9:30

This month’s program is the kick off for the Rigid Heddle Progressive Weave. Sandi Suggs will bring the details printed out for everyone and she tells me the loom is warped and ready to go. 

This month's meeting chair is Phyllis Narus. Let Phyllis know if there is anything you want added to the agenda.
