OLD BUSSINESS
ANWG
Scholarship Carmen has been working on a
couple of ideas with Louise and most of the membership like the idea of a long
lasting project that we can display at the various events we attend. This would
be a variety of Crafts from the members of the Guild and we thought we would go
ahead with it even if we do not receive a Grant. There are still several things
to decide before taking this on. A written Proposal to the ANWG Committee is
required and Jacquie has taken this on with Carmen. She will put it together
and then send it to us to accept and then have it sent on to the Committee.
There were several
suggestions for the Theme and it will require more input from the Guild at the
next Meetings. We ask that you think of some ideas you would like to see and
bring them to the next Meeting. We also
require an Organizer to get Materials, who will teach what, who will put the
project together, how much to spend for supplies etc, is this a one day project
for all, or something we do at home and bring for a final putting together
ETC…..
LOTS to think
about before we make this commitment.
This has to be in to the ANWG
Committee by April 15th, 2018.
**The Library in the Mall is
holding Tuesday Evening’s Spinning, from 6 to 8 pm. Please bring a towel to go under your wheel
to keep floor clean.
DISPLAY CASE Has been

SHEEP TO SHAWL
Elvi, Sonia, Liz and Lynne signed up, however Lynne is not able to
continue with this so we need some more members to be on the Sheep to Shawl
Team.
Sonia and Bruce
have donated the fleece for our Team this year.
Many thanks.
The year 2020 is the 40th
Anniversary of our Sheep to Shawl so we should be thinking of something special
to do that year.
Suggestion: by Ann We could begin at the beginning by shearing a
sheep, clean the Weft and divide into 4 piles, dye each a different color and
put in bags for a Blind Weave.
IPE Sharon was not at meeting
but Jacquie though the Theme was “Sheep Thrills” possibly.
We can discuss more at the next meeting.
