Winter CWG newsletter deadline is approaching—Sunday, December 1

By 1 Comment

Winter  newsletter deadline is really coming–December 1.  Hopefully this Holiday week will allow a thought or two about a submission.  Maybe consider it a form of Thanksgiving ‘leftover’ once the dust has settled?

Please send newsletter materials, especially items of autumn’s doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year. 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.

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.

Contribute directly to Nancy or to newsletter@cuyahogaweaversguild.com

 

Cancelation of CWG field trip

By Leave a Comment

After looking at the weather forecast for our field trip to the American Coverlet Museum, we will be rescheduling for sometime in the spring.
I think we could get there is good shape, but coming home in the dark through the Allegheny mountains with wind and snow is not something I want to attempt. Jean and I take that route when we visit our son and his family in Virginia.
Aside from my seeing the coverlets now on display, part of what I had been looking forward was seeing how each of you responded when you saw them. I do hope that we can reschedule the trip and have a good turnout.
I realize that this means we will not have a Guild meeting in November, but we did have a very productive study group earlier this month, and we are all lined up for our Holiday Luncheon on Thursday December 19 at Jessie Adler’s house, starting at 11:30. Please bring a dish to share, and any show and tell you may have.

CWG November meeting–a survey of interest

By Leave a Comment

Hi All

I got through to speak to someone at the coverlet museum today.

I have a “tentative” date setup with them for Thursday November 21. The normal date for our monthly meeting. We would drive over in the morning and drive back in the afternoon. It is about a 3.5 hour drive.
Please respond to let me know if you would like to attend  and if you would be willing to drive. Jean and I will drive and we can fit two others in our car. We would take the toll road so you would need an EZ pass and I expect the guild to cover the mileage.
I think I included everyone in this email who was at the meeting last week.
Please respond quickly to Bob at robert.breitzmann@gmail.com
