President's Message

I missed the April meeting as I was traveling and entertaining out-of-town guests. But, how pleasant it was to receive emails and phone calls reporting how well the guild meeting went. Thank you, Jeanette, for covering, and more thanks to Jeanette for her work on the first of our rental looms that she is restoring. I heard that the loom may have looked better than when we originally put it into commission. Missing Kathleen McMaster�s presentation on Hand Manipulated Lace Weaves is my only disappointment.
Jeanette is putting together a basket for IWC. Well, maybe not a basket. I have heard that Diane Haueter has contributed one of her hand-painted bags with poppies on it. Christine from Three Wishes has contributed four cones of Alpaca Silk, and we have also received a spindle �and roving. This may be the best basket/bag ever. I will be at IWC just to bid on the basket. We are still accepting donations for the bag.
Looking forward to May, we can all get excited about one of our favorite teachers, Judie Eatough, presenting a program on Pickup and Inlay Techniques. At the May meeting the nominating committee will also present their slate of nominees for the new MMAWG board. Nominations will also be accepted from the floor.
June is also shaping up to be a fabulous meeting with the Jazzy Junque Jubilee and a show and tell of all the fabulous scarves being made for the Guild challenge. Plus, we will be able to visit Diane Haueter�s studio and farm.
�Happy Weaving, Jo

The Mary Meigs Atwater Weavers Guild is happy to start a study group of "Shuttle-Craft Guild Bulletins".  These Bulletins were created by Mary Atwater.  They  were actually a correspondence course in handweaving.
One Bulletin a month will be posted to the guild web site, www.mmawg.org .  It will be discussed at the next Guild meeting.  You will be able to ask questions from the experts or bring show and tell on the subject.  The study group page has the pdf of the Bulletin and some of the drafts done as wif files.
