Diablo Weavers Guild
January 24, 2014
We're having an "upside down" meeting today - program first, meeting
afterwards.
Mary Helen Binger introduced our speaker, Lynn Harris, of Saori Berkeley, told
us about the background of Saori weaving, and we all got a chance to try it out.
Two pieces of Saori cloth were woven, and Vilija and Pam took them home to
create bags for Diablo's display at conference.
Meeting notes:
The CNCH early bird deadline is 1/31/14. Registration is down, vendor
participation is down. There is an article clarifying gallery entries.
Joan Anderson has a handout with dates to remember, and gallery and entry forms. People can enter up to 3 items per gallery.
Each bag for the gallery needs an entry form and picture. Bring entries to the
March meeting and they will all be mailed together.
We cannot get the library for the April meeting.
"The Devil Made Me Do It" bag can be turned in at the February meeting, last
Friday in February. The entry form and picture are due at the February meeting
if you want the guild to pay the entry fee. The bag is due by the March meeting.
