Spring Newsletter Addendum
The newsletter is 14 pages. Please select pages 1 – 14 if printing. Your editor did not delete the blank pages 15 – 17.
This was not included with Joan’s article:
Hi – I’m Joan Horwich, the daughter of Rose Rubin, who was very active in this guild for many years. I began weaving when my mother was 89 years old and had parted with the majority of her looms, equipment, and fiber. I am still a beginning weaver and learning quite a bit from Jane Stafford’s on line course. Through this, I am exploring a number of 4 shaft weave structures. I now own four floor looms, a rigid heddle loom and an inkle loom and am interested in pursuing spinning.
I can’t wait to see all of you in person.
Joan
