Meeting Notes - March 09by Mary Schwartz
Jennifer Hoag, of Northeast Fiber Arts in Williston, gave
the morning presentation and did a really fun workshop of
felt samples at the March meeting.
Don’t forget the next meeting, Saturday, April 10, is the
day to turn in your work for the Guild Show.

An anonymous donation of $400 came through the White River
Craft center. We could think of something special to do with
it.
PROGRAMS: Programs are all set for 2009. Our May meeting
will be the Show Opening and the guild annual meeting. Also
there will be a workshop on Inkle loom weaving with Betty
Atwood in the morning.
In the fall we have Habu Textiles, Robyn Spady’s three day
workshop--Extreme Warp Makeover--and Charlotte Hamlen’s on
Japanese textiles. You can sign up for any of these
workshops now.
Spring 2010 programs are tentative. A new program committee
will be formed in May. New members will be needed.
We will also need a new representative, or representatives,
for the New England Weavers Seminar.
We were asked if the Guild was interested in participating
in a craft fair at CVU high school in October. It is well
attended. A percentage goes to the school. A percentage
could go to the Guild for fundraising. Think about putting
on a little extra warp and making something for the guild.
We will find out how much it costs and report.
Convergence 2010 will be held in Albuquerque, July 18-25.
The Guild has copies of HGA’s magazine, Shuttle, Spindle and
Dyepot. HGA’s website is weavespindye.org.
We now have 200 postcards to distribute for publicity.
NEWS (New England Weavers Seminar) There is a sheet listing
responsibilities for the Guild’s job of putting up and
taking down the static fashion show. Please sign up for
times when you can help if you haven’t already done so.
Friday night after the fashion show is the main time help is
needed to put it up and then Sunday afternoon for take down.
