Study group meets at Patty’s home on Thursday, October 7 at 10:00 am. Patty may enjoy a RSVP.
We will confirm our topic for Study Group for 2021-2022. We discussed in a Zoom meeting last spring to take inspiration from our own Cleveland Museum of Art and interpret it into a weaving project. There would be a lot of freedom in structure, yarn and item woven.
We also want to discuss our meeting place or places.
September Meeting Minutes are found on the website under the Members tab.
CWG Yarn and Equipment Sale
Join us the last full weekend of September in beautiful Cleveland Heights Ohio for the
2021 Cuyahoga Weavers Guild
“Dead Weavers Sale”
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
September 24, 25 and 26
9am to 4pm
No early birds please.
Driveway for loading and unloading only!
2980 Washington Blvd. 44118
This is our last sale from this location
Combining the curiosity of 7 fiber working women, this is the last stash of weavers that the craft has lost. It will be an epic sale of the century. We have looms, spinning wheels, tools and equipment, yarn, books and magazines concerning weaving, spinning, knitting and crochet, needlework and quilting, leather, lace and felting. These artistic souls studied all forms and facets of fiber, and what they left behind needs new hands and new homes. Prices are so low, it’ll definitely be worth the drive from anywhere.
Our first meeting is advanced this year due to Yom Kippur being on the 16th.
So please join us on September 9, 2021
11:30 am Gathering at the Pavilion in
Osborne Park
38575 Lakeshore Blvd.
Willoughby, OH 44094
This is the charming pavilion where we last met in June. Bring your brown bag lunch, a beverage and anything you have to Show and Tell. We do have some business to attend to regarding the sale at the end of September and a proposal for and vote on a new treasurer for the guild as well as confirmation of our meeting space.
Bring any new things to the Sept. meeting. Our September 9 meeting will be at Osborne Park again. Please ask the heavens for good weather. B.Y.O. lunch ands drinks. Contact Bobbie for directions.
Eeek, September 1 gives very short notice. So, let’s extend the deadline to September 5. Please send newsletter materials, especially items of summer doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year.
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 don’t forget news of our upcoming sale.
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.
Memories and stories of Jean Jackson are plentiful. Let’s share some for this newsletter issue.

I have a Schacht Baby Wolf for sale. It is 6 years old. I bought it new from Schacht in May, 2016. I paid $3000 for it with taxes. It is not my main loom so I’ve only used it about twice a year with no more than 5 yard warps on it each time. It has a trapper keeper and is a high shaft loom. It has a light with it.
Hello to enthusiastic weavers, spinners, knitters and quilters!! Please pass the following information to your groups and guilds. This is possibly the largest guild sale we have ever had and look forward to sharing the richness.
Join us the last full weekend of September
