Handweavers' Guild Open
House
Please
review the summary of plans to date.
Any additions and corrections will be made at the April
meeting. Date:
April 21: 10
AM-2 PM at Balance-Herschell House; 256 NE Randolph Street in Peoria. A date for visiting the B-H House to
determine the
organizational flow and lay- out is yet to be determined. Refreshments
will
be set up in the kitchen with all members bringing cookies or bars. Margo Tennis will bring coffee and 8 oz
bottles of water. Joan Quigg will bring
the Guild coffee pot and a basket for voluntary donations for
refreshments. Still needed: someone to
provide napkins,
cups, creamer and sugars. A Guild
member will attend the refreshment table and use tongs or gloves to
serve the
food. We will plan on food to serve 100
guests. Members
will again
bring items for display. The
area for
sale items will be well removed from the display area.
There will be a sign-up sheet in this area
for guests who would like to be on the Guild mailing list for the
fall/winter
sale. Demonstrations: Lise' Mundwiller and Mary Didesch will bring
the two Guild floor looms so guests can try weaving on them. Jeannie Krumholz will demonstrate
spinning. Joan Quigg will demonstrate
Kumihimo. Jennie Hawkey will bring her tape loom and the children’s
cardboard
looms. Ellie Slusser and Margo Tennis will have Inkle Looms for guests
to try.
Judy Kimbro, Linda McDaniel, and Cheryl Borys volunteered to help
wherever
needed. |
Name-Draft Study GroupGuild
members who
have signed up for the Name-Draft Study Group are:
Joan Quigg, Lise’ Mundwiller, Diane Denekes, Linda
McDaniel, Mary
Didesch, Cheryl Suckow, Judy Kimbro, Jennie Hawkey, Margo Tennis and
possible
Ellie Slusser. The group decided to
make smaller squares so they could be combined into a table runner or
other
household items. Jennie Hawkey is
exploring appropriate yarns. A time
line has yet to be determined but consensus seemed to be that this
Study Group
would not be activated until after the Weave-O Project is completed. |

An Explanation:Change in Newsletter FormatWhy
oh why when I
have these wonderful old looms that just get better with age, do these
relatively new computers seem to be out-of-date before I even
understand all
they can do. In short, my computer has
been back in the shop so I am limping along with borrowed equipment………
