Hi Weavers,
We are but a couple weeks away from our hanging of a show in Chagrin Falls. Here are some guidelines to make that exciting and successful.
Bring items to be hung to:
    May 2nd. Study Group at Jessie’s house
    May 16th Guild meeting at Praxis
    Or contact me directly to make arrangements individually
    I will return your items to you at the June 20th. meeting of the Guild.
    Chagrin Arts Gallery Space between Huntington Bank and Bell & Flower Restaurant
    Parking will be not only difficult, but a mess because of the carnival being set-up for the holiday weekend.
We need you to sign up to help demonstrate at the show. We will have a loom there for your imagination.
Here are the times for demonstrations:
                                1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Please email me or call me to sign up for a 2 hour shift. I really need your help! Please !
    for contact information, please consult our Guild roster
You will need the following information on each of your entries in the show:
    1. Item description    (example, Twill place mat)
    2. Yarn used            (example, cotton)
    3. Your Name
    4. Your city
    5. Price or NFS
    6. Value for insurance if NFS
Thank you all so much. This should be a great opportunity to have our Weavers Guild in the community.
Patty

Details here:

We have a field trip planned for April 18th to the Finnish Heritage Museum in Fairport Harbor. We will have a private tour of the textiles, led by Rebecca Steinbeck. I hope you will join us and connect with others to carpool.

Please e-mail me (beemerquilter@yahoo.com) if you plan to join us for lunch, which will be at 11:00 at Fairport Family Restaurant, 212 High St. (walking distance to the museum). Hopefully we can have a quick meeting, eat and socialize before heading over to the museum. I just need to get a head count so I can call the restaurant to reserve space for us, so don’t forget to let me know you are attending.
