CWG’s first meeting this fall is a field trip.

Janis Lessman-Moss Retrospective exhibit at the Kent State Museum, 515 Hilltop Drive, Kent, OH 44242. We will have a guide to tour the exceptional exhibit that will be closing at the end of September. Please meet at the museum at 11:00 where we will purchase our tickets for the tour.
After the museum, we can meet at Wild Goats, 319 W Main Street, Kent HO 44242 for lunch. They offer soup, salads or sandwiches. It is a short drive from the museum.
Please make carpool arrangements individually.
As summer is marching swiftly along, please mark your calendar for the August 25 newsletter deadline.
Please send newsletter materials, especially items of our doings and program notes for the CWG fall season.
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.
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.
We are continuing our spotlight biographies of our members.
Please consider sharing about your favorite weaving books–your trusted standbys and new-to-you inspiring titles.

Either the year 2021 or the year 2020 we had an end-of-the-year meeting I believe at Patty Hridel‘s house. I brought a weaving supply piece that I had purchased at an estate sale and never used because I didn’t understand what it was. I think someone took it and said that they would donate it to praxis. It was not Debby Silver or Joanie Horwich because I already spoke to them. Anyways this late in the game I would really love it back. I don’t know what it’s called, but it was about 5 feet tall and may be 12 inches wide, all wood, and it kind of works as a yarn spindle I think. Perhaps if I pushed it down I would’ve realized that it was some type of yarn spindle, but I always left it upright not knowing what it was. I truly hope that one of you have this item or can contact praxis if it was donated. I am having a hard time winding a very long warps by myself. I just went to Holland Michigan for the Michigan League of hand weavers conference and another Weaver told me that that’s what I need! So please help me in finding this lost item. I’d really appreciate it.
