Update from Elfriede
Dear Weavers,
because we have to stay home (and weave) for a while, some of our planned events are
cancelled:
There will be no study group meeting at Jessie’s house on April the 2nd.
The set up for our show at the Beachwood library on April 3rd is cancelled. The show will not
take place because the library is closed all of April. We do not know at this time when it will be open again.
We are still hoping to do the show in Chagrin Falls in June. We will keep you informed as to events there.
At this time there is no definite news about our meeting and workshop in April. It does not look too good, but Patty will be in touch when she has more information.
I hope you are all in good spirits and healthy. Keep sending pictures and news. Elfriede

EGLFC 2017 is at Risk
Volunteers make our beloved regional fiber conference happen. Unfortunately,
volunteers have not stepped forward to fill crucial roles for the 2017 event.
Good teachers and venues book far in advance. Unless a committee begins work
soon, there will be no conference.
EGLFC 2017 has the treasury to bring in top-notch instructors, but so far no
program chairs to select them or treasurer to pay them. It has volunteers for
important jobs such as registrar and website, but so far no person willing to
coordinate them all.
If you value our regional conference — big enough to bring in excellent
teachers yet small enough to get to know them — please consider what you are
willing to do to help it continue. To volunteer or ask any questions you may
have, please contact 2015 chair Peg Houseman at 716-648-2987 or
peghouse54@gmail.com. Thank you!

An Invitation for a Carol James Finger Weaving Workshop
Please join Cuyahoga Weavers Guild for
Finger Weaving Workshop with Carol James
Friday, May 20, 9AM to 4PM
Calvary Hall, Church of the Savior
2537 Lee Rd, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118
This one-day weaving class introduces you to the basic method. Focus is on the finger movements that create the braid, what the top ten mistakes look like, how to fix them, and how to avoid them in the first place. You begin with an already prepared warp. Once you worked it into a strap, Carol will show you how to finish and how to begin again. Prospective participants are invited to look for her YouTube videos on the subject.
Her brochure for her workshops can be found at: Carol James Workshop Brochure
Her Facebook page is:

Carol will bring all materials. A little bit of yarn goes a long way in this. If you want you can bring some sock yarn, and she will help you to set up a neck scarf.
