Our member Deb Silver has won First Place and Complex Weavers Award in the Complexity 2018 juried exhibition for Complex Weavers.This exhibition is in conjunction with their conference in Reno, Nevada.
The piece is called “Planning the Revolution”. Deb says, “It’s a total shocker because most of the work there is done on computer looms with MANY shafts.”
Surely that is no small feat. So a big tip of the hat goes to Deb from all her CWG friends.

To all the wonderful contributors to the show at the Lee Road Library, please meet Patty at the library on Wednesday, April 10th, at 10:00 am to pick up your items that were in the show. If that is inconvenient, Patty will take the balance of items not claimed to the regular meeting on April 18th during the mud painting workshop. You can also contact Patty for special arrangements.
Thank you everyone for participating.
If you haven’t yet gotten your contributions to this year’s library show to Patty, please do so by Friday, February 15th. Entries can be given to Patty or Victoria, so contact them to make arrangements for drop off.
Please also complete the online submission form so we have all the information we need to create the tags that will accompany each item in the case. You will need to complete the form one time for each item you contribute to the show, so if you submit two items, you’ll need to complete the form twice.
Thanks to your participation and Patty’s display skills, we’re looking forward to a beautiful show. Items will be on display at the main branch of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights library, 2345 Lee Road, beginning February 25th.
