Don’t forget the yarn sale happening this Saturday, June 1st, 9:00 am at Jean’s house: 2980 Washington Blvd., Cleveland Heights, OH.

Two looms– a 4-harness table loom suitable for workshops and an 8-harness Macomber add-a-harness floor loom– will be for sale, along with the usual array of books and magazines, yarn (of course), and who knows what other goodies (well, Jean knows, but we find out Saturday).

A portion of the proceeds benefits the Guild, so please tell your friends and come early to shop.

The Cuyahoga Weavers Guild is having one of its incredible yarn and fiber equipment sales– an event that comes along only once every few years. You will not find better deals at a local sale.

When? Saturday, June 1st, 9:00 am
Where?  2980 Washington Blvd. , Cleveland Heights

Books and magazines, looms (a 4-harness table loom suitable for workshops and an 8-harness Macomber add-a-harness floor loom), yarn (of course), and if we’re lucky, maybe a few swifts and ball winders will turn up.

Feel free to spread the word!  A portion of the proceeds benefits the Guild.

Donations of unwanted yarn to sell for the Guild will be accepted until Wednesday, May 29th.  Contact Jean to arrange drop off of yarn donations.

 

A reminder for the business meeting on Thursday, May 16 at 12:30 pm.   Bring a brown bag lunch at 11:30 am to visit and see how the ply-splitting workshop with Debbie Swan is faring.

For participants, this workshop is Thursday, May 16th, starting at 9:00 am promptly and ends at 5:00 pm in our usual basement meeting space at the Church of the Savior, 2537 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, OH.

Check out these great photos from the recent lecture and workshop with Judy Dominic. Thanks to Lynne for documenting the lecture.

These photos are temporarily offline and will be back soon.

Carol James, our delightful instructor at last year’s sprang workshop, will be visiting our sister group, the Cuyahoga Spinners Guild, on Friday, May 24th, to display her replica of George Washington’s Revolutionary War sash. Carol’s replica is such a true recreation of the original that the caretakers at Mount Vernon had to check to make sure the original was still where they left it when they first viewed Carol’s work. Read all the details at the spinners blog and please join us to see this wonderful piece of history as it makes its way to Mount Vernon.

Please attend, if you are not already participating in the Bogolanfini mud cloth workshop, at 11:30 am for a bagged lunch and 12:30 pm for the meeting.  This meeting will include nomination information for next year’s officers and committee chairs. Also meet Judy Dominic and enjoy a peek at the workshop processes and the wiles of Mali textile design.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Patty reminds us that Lake Farmpark’s annual Woolfest event is coming up soon. Will you be there?

Join us on Thursday, May 16th, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, for a day of ply-splitting with Debbie Swan.

Have you seen the adorable little baskets Debbie Swan has been whipping up? Debbie has been working through Linda Hendrickson‘s book on ply-spliting, and she has made some adorable little baskets. Debbie has agreed to share what she’s figured out with the guidance and blessing of Linda. Projects are provided and include instructions for one sweet little basket, cord to work with, and the nifty little tool required to make it all intertwine.

We’ll meet early (9:00 am, sharp!) and stay late in our regular meeting space (Church of the Savior, 2537 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, OH), and the addition of so many of us with sharp tools might keep the business meeting in between short and well behaved. Sign up now for a fun day with Debbie!

$45 covers it all for members and non-members alike, materials included. Send check to Jean Jackson to hold your space (address will be given upon registration).

Kathie Roig is teaching her Warp-it! Paint-it!

Thank you to our neighbor guild for sharing this opportunity with us.
