Two Reminders about dues and upcoming winter newsletter deadline
December 1 gives very short notice. And we’ve barely had time during and betwixt holidays. Please send newsletter materials, especially items of our 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. A report about the outcomes of our sale will be welcome.
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.

CWG Yarn and Equipment Sale

2021 Cuyahoga Weavers Guild
“Dead Weavers Sale”
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
September 24, 25 and 26
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.

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
