Fall newsletter deadline is approaching—September 1

August 29, 2021 By Nancy Leave a Comment

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.

Contribute directly to Nancy or to newsletter@cuyahogaweaversguild.com

Shelly is selling a baby wolf

August 24, 2021 By Nancy Leave a Comment

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.

 It has never been out of my house since delivery and only been moved around one room twice.
The loom is located in Youngstown and you are welcome to come see it.   I am asking $2000 or best offer for it.  Please call me at 330-788-2999 and leave a phone number.

Apologies for any and all inconveniences.

CWG is having an amazing sale. Look for it at September’s end

August 17, 2021 By Nancy Leave a Comment

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

in beautiful Cleveland Heights Ohio for the 
2021 Cuyahoga Weavers Guild
“Dead Weavers Sale” 
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
September 24th, 25th and 26th
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.

Calling all volunteers!! CWG Sale preparations begin July 28

July 23, 2021 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Please find some volunteer time in your calendar.

Starting July 28th, we will have weekly Wednesday workdays at the Jackson house. I will be there every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm. Jean’s children have done all the heavy lifting that I anticipated, so now we only need to identify and price everything. This in itself is a huge job.

Please contact me and let me know when you can come help.

Change in date for CWG Sale and its preparation

July 15, 2021 By Nancy 4 Comments

For those of you not at June’s meeting and potluck, you may not know that plans for the CWG sale had to change drastically. Victoria has been in close contact with Jean’s family, making plans for building a CWG storage shed, and planning work parties for the sale. This update will help you plan how you’d like to volunteer when the time comes.

Nancy

****************************************************************************************************

Wherever Jean is, she’s smiling at the plan her children have put in place. They put our plan aside and replaced it. Our original plan of the end of August was extended to become the end of September. CHANGE IT ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW! We are definitely doing the whole LAST WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER. Start telling folks. Pass the word. It’s official.

 

They also completely altered my plan for all of the heavy stuff, and they will no doubt be blessed. Especially by me. Their plan is to meet in two weeks to empty the garage, move everything from the shed into the garage, bring all the books out to the garage and onto the newly empty shelves. They talk of tarps and taking respectful care. After July 24th, we can then enter through the side door and work at our leisure to handle all the cleaning, sorting and pricing that has to happen. When we get closer to the actual sale date, we will arrange a date to bring all the yarn out from the house. After July 24th, I plan to schedule weekly work sessions up to the sale date. Come when you can, but let me know your plan.

 

The storage sheds will definitely be in place before the sale. There will be two. I will share that story when they’re up, but I will say now that we managed to stay within the budget.

 

That’s what I know so far as of 7/13/2021.

CWG June meeting, potluck picnic and yearly wrap up is Thursday, June 17

June 9, 2021 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Thursday, June 17th at 11:30
A potluck picnic and yearly wrap up
Bobbie sends these directions. Apparently the picnic area we are using does not use the main entrance shown in Google maps.

Take your usual route to get to Rt.2

For most of us that would be either Som Center Rd. or I-271 to the  Euclid spur coming from the west, or Rt 306 or Rt 44 from the east.  From the west go east on Rt.2 and from the east go to the west on Rt.2.
Get off at Exit 213 Lost Nation Road and turn to the right (North)

Follow Lost Nation to Lake Shore Drive. where it ends.
Turn right onto Lake Shore.
Turn left on the third street ( Eaglewood ).  You will see the Osborne Pool on your right.
Continue on down Eaglewood to almost the end.  There will be a street sign saying
“Casteel Way” and signs on the Ground saying Osborne Park.
Take Casteel Way to the parking lot.  You will see the pavilion to your right.

If you get lost call me at 440-954-2866.

This is a potluck.  In the past we had way too many salads and deserts.  Just sayin’.
See you then,
Bobbie
For those that like to see the map.
