The Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild of Utah
The Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild was established in 1956 to promote the art of weaving and provide weaving resources to the community. We provide educational opportunities through our study groups, workshops and meetings.
You do not need to be a weaver to join. If you have an interest in weaving, the Guild has a lot of resources to help you learn to weave and have a lot of fun!

Guild Holiday Sale
The Guild Holiday Sale is fast approaching. It is the weekend before Thanksgiving—Friday, November 22, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, and Saturday, November 23, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. I hope you all have been making many beautiful items for the sale. Don’t be shy—even if you have only a few items, we want you all to participate. If you are someone who has lots to sell, now is the time to be labeling your items and filling out your inventory sheet. Don’t wait until the last minute, or you may find yourself up all night the night before the sale.

Guild Challenge
This year’s Guild Challenge—“Weaving for Clothing”—was introduced at the October meeting, and we are really looking forward to it!
Those who are interested in participating will weave cloth that can be used for clothing. Weavers can also explore the use of color in cloth as they do this. This clothing can be simple scarves or shawls or yardage, or it can be clothing that is constructed in some way. We hope that this challenge will allow all of us to learn more about weaving for clothing.

Ruby Leslie Workshop
Ruby “Charuby” Leslie will be coming to Utah to teach a three-day workshop on April 3, 4, and 5, 2025. The workshop is called “There Must Be 50 Ways to Weave Your Color.” With apologies to Paul Simon, in this workshop, we’ll go beyond white and blue, Sue, and do more than red, Fred!
