Dear Vermont Weavers,
Our sheep, having been shorn since we last met, are
beginning to fill out again now, and are less frequently
mistaken for goats. That’s a sure sign it’s almost time for
our September Guild meeting.
Please join us in the upcoming year in Randolph. The program
committee is taking care to choose topics which will
interest our diverse group. We want to assure everyone,
regardless of your weaving experience, that there will be
topics in the forthcoming year that will expand your
knowledge, and broaden your experience in our discipline.
Many years ago, I was buying my first loom from a great
weaver, Shirley Blake of Ivy, Iowa (pop. 7 – honestly – 7).
She told me she wouldn’t sell it to me unless I promised to
join the local Guild. Keeping that promise to Shirley has
enriched my life in ways I could not possibly have foreseen.
I invite you to follow Shirley’s advice, too. Some of you
will learn from those of us who have been weaving for a
while, and we will remember, through the enthusiasm of you
newbies, the excitement of exploring new things.
Our September meeting has its traditions, which include a
show and tell (so bring recent projects), and a potluck
lunch. We begin at 10; the library will open about 9.
Until then, take care ~~~ Barbara
