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!

CWG Spring Newsletter deadline is March 1

By Leave a Comment

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.

Contribute directly to Nancy or to newsletter@cuyahogaweaversguild.com
