Guild Goes to NOFA Summer Conference!

Four of us are off this weekend to give a presentation at the annual Summer Conference, a NOFA sponsored event, at the campus of UMass Amherst. Betsy leads the way with help from Maile, Chris and Lori. From sheep through spinning and dyeing, we'll share our knowledge and passion at the largest venue yet. We've got our fiber map, and a working business card, so things are feeling pretty official. We've all been busy learning and experimenting all summer. Dyeing season is upon us, and new tools have entered the mix. Should be an exciting fall!

Nice March 7th meeting

Guild members Sharon, Maile, Sara and Elaine joined Lori at her house for the March 7th meeting. We spun in a circle facing one another, and it felt a bit like a sheep-to-shawl contest! Sharon joined us for some knitting and chatting before heading off to her daughter Claire's concert. We discussed a variety of upcoming events and ideas: our Guild's first workshop at NOFA Ma's Summer Conference, our fiber map now in rough layout format thanks to Alyson Lee, our April dyeing workshop with Maile's rug hooking guru, and more.

The next meeting is at Betsy's house on March 21st.
