PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I am looking forward to learning from our December speaker, Patty Huffer, on summer and winter. It seems like a perfect structure to weave and experiment with during our rainy, dark winter months. Our library has several resources for exploring summer and winter. Pattie Graver’s Next Steps in Weaving – what you never knew you needed to know may be a good place to start. Chapter 4 is all about summer and winter, detailing its definition, block threading, sett, and troubleshooting tips. Two projects are included – a sampler and a set of placemats – that show off this interesting weave structure and reinforce learning concepts. This book would make an excellent resource for a study group since it also includes learning topics for twill, overshot, color-and-weave, and lace. Come visit the library and explore the rich resources there. It is open before and throughout the monthly guild meeting.     

                   

I enjoyed the card weaving class in mid-November with Helen Hiebert. She is a skilled teacher and her approach and instruction were simple yet produced a surprisingly complex looking card design. My creation is in the photo below. I hope other participants will bring their card creations for show and tell this month.

I hope everyone had peaceful Thanksgiving. I look forward to seeing you at the December 6th meeting. Here is the agenda:
