EGLFC 2025 1With many thanks to our Fiber Angels, we met our fund-raising goal of $6,000 which has reduced
our fees for 2025. Additionally, we are grateful to the MidAtlantic Fiber Association for their
generous grant of $3,200. Thank you all! Unlike many other fiber conferences, our conference fee
includes workshops, lodging, meals and all special events!
It’s all part of a terrific time, and it only happens once every two years!
Registration begins April 1st online.

CWG Spring Newsletter deadline is March 1
Spring newsletter deadline is really coming–March 1. Have these wintry months provided you plenty of cozy time with the loom, wheel, or weaving reveries?
Please send newsletter materials, especially items of winter’s doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG events. A President’s letter, program notes, study group reveries, and member’s profile will all be welcome.
No doubt that photos of your projects, a new technique or yarn you are trying, or a weaving reference book you have discovered will be welcome. Or even an essay about your weaving adventures, discoveries, or compatriots. Perhaps a quandary that you would like help with.
And there’s the ever ready version of Penelope’s Perils that you might share.

CWG Winter newsletter is now posted on CWG website
The Winter newsletter is now posted. Find it under the MEMBERS tab, then Newsletter Archive.
Winter CWG newsletter deadline is approaching—Sunday, December 1
Winter newsletter deadline is really coming–December 1. Hopefully this Holiday week will allow a thought or two about a submission. Maybe consider it a form of Thanksgiving ‘leftover’ once the dust has settled?
Please send newsletter materials, especially items of autumn’s doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year. A President’s letter, program notes, study group reveries, and member’s profile will all be welcome.
No doubt that photos of your projects, a new technique or yarn you are trying, or a weaving reference book you have discovered will be welcome. Or even an essay about your weaving adventures, discoveries, or compatriots. Perhaps a quandary that you would like help with.
In earlier discussions about the foibles of our weaving work might fit into a new column based on Penelope’s weaving tactics——you know, the part where she weaves and unweaves. We all have stories about our version so please send yours.

Cancelation of CWG field trip
After looking at the weather forecast for our field trip to the American Coverlet Museum, we will be rescheduling for sometime in the spring.
I think we could get there is good shape, but coming home in the dark through the Allegheny mountains with wind and snow is not something I want to attempt. Jean and I take that route when we visit our son and his family in Virginia.
Aside from my seeing the coverlets now on display, part of what I had been looking forward was seeing how each of you responded when you saw them. I do hope that we can reschedule the trip and have a good turnout.
I realize that this means we will not have a Guild meeting in November, but we did have a very productive study group earlier this month, and we are all lined up for our Holiday Luncheon on Thursday December 19 at Jessie Adler’s house, starting at 11:30. Please bring a dish to share, and any show and tell you may have.
Bob
