Sunday, April 10

Sunday will be a "Show & Tell" day for all your lovely hand crafted buttons and closures. Don't forget your wheel or drop spindle while you're at it! P.S. We have about 15 members who have yet to re-new their memberships and pay their 2011 dues. Please take care of this with Doreen so that we may finish the membership booklets and finalize our budget.

Save the Date

Just wanted to let you know that the Hull Family Home & Farmstead has designated Sunday, July 24th for its annual Sheep to Shawl event.

This year will be a bit different: Saturday, July 23rd, ALL local fiber guilds are being invited for an open work day. All members are welcome to hang out on the grounds to spin, quilt, knit...you get the idea. Muggles will then pay to meet and greet with guild members to learn and ask tons of questions.

Sunday, July 24th will be the traditional S2S event. On this day we will be asking members to volunteer for specific shifts to complete the task at hand!

So mark your calendars! Doesn't it feel good to start planning for summer!

BNAC Festival

Have you checked your e-mail lately? Common Threads has sent you some information regarding submissions to the BNAC's March Fiber Exhibition. Don't forget to fill out the attached paper work that goes with it!

And this photo has been hi-jacked from Gene Shepherd's rug hooking blog. I just thought I would give you dyers something to drool over.

Looks like a workshop idea for someone to run, doesn't it?

Happy New Year! Time to get back to work you party animals. Roc Day means the fun is over and the spinners are back at their wheels. To celebrate we have a few things planned to extend the fun.

Bring your wheel or wheels. The guild is going to supply fiber for Musical Wheels. This will give a chance for those interested to spin on someone else's wheel. If you have to choose between your Lendrum and something else, please bring your something else. No disrespect to Gord, but almost too many of us are on that Canadian train:-)

Games, prizes and laughter will abound! Can't wait to see you at the Burchfield Nature and Arts Center. The building opens at noon and the festivities will begin at 1:00; we will be out by 3:00.
