Message From Our
President Fall is just around the corner, and I hope that inspires you to do a little weaving! I am excited that the 12 harness loom that has been taking up space in my living room is finally functional. One of my cats, Cocoa, is excited because she has discovered that the back beam full of thread is just wide enough for her to sit on, and that she can then play with the threads that extend up and into the heddles. I hope the project survives! (And what about Cocoa?)  As you will notice, the September meeting will again be at Skeins and Shuttles. The shop will remain open through most of September. Lise’ is going to teach us some beading! Perhaps your bracelet will complement the jacket from our last workshop or the new project you bring for show-and-tell. Come ready to be creative! Don’t be afraid to share your failures as well as your successes during the meeting. Last month we had a good discussion as we brainstormed ways to fix or design around problems. Even though I have been weaving for a long time, it was valuable to me. One of the best parts about the Guild is learning from each other-and seeing a twisted fringe made on a hair twister was great fun! Thanks, Barb. Whether you are a regularly attending member, brand new, or haven’t had the time to meet with us regularly, mark your calendar and plan to come. I look forward to seeing everyone!
Joan
