newsletter
Fall newsletter deadline is approaching—September 1
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.

CWG archive quiz update
After April’s Study Group, there are some new changes. The answers still need work.
You might have received this via emaildodo last week which was a total fail. Please disregard that one.
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

It’s a Wonderful Life……..wouldn’t it be so?
It’s a Wonderful Life, the film that we will no doubt have opportunities to see this month and next, prompted this request.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Cuyahoga Weavers Guild members all contributed a bit for the upcoming newsletter? “Yes!”, says its editor.
So as you tidy-up left-overs from Thanksgiving, and begin preparations for the coming holidays, please squeeze out some time to send a photo, send an article, send a weaving inquiry, share about your favorite weaving book, even share a recipe. Shall I go on…share a poem, share a memoir, share a weaving tip, share a remembrance of a mentor or teacher. Share about upcoming workshops or classes.
OK, I will stop now, except for two things 1.) “Please” and 2.)Tuesday, December 1st is a great target.
