     Our March Guild meeting will provide the opportunity to learn more about warping from a true expert! Whatever your weaving skill level, Deanna Baugh will be able to help you improve your warping methods. No matter how many times you have warped a loom, you will learn something new about this important aspect of our craft. Deanna Baugh is an excellent weaver, who has taught privately and in weaving stores for many years.She currently teaches weaving classes at Three Wishes. She is an expert at many types of fiber arts. We are fortunate to have her in our Guild and to be able to learn from her.

Also at our meeting, Lori Webb will do a demonstration of how to wrap the ball to get ready for our April Guild meeting on Temari balls. This will help you get ready for the April Guild meeting.❖

April Meeting: Temari Balls

 Lori Webb will teach us how to make Temari balls. Those who saw her lovely gift at the Guild party were excited to learn to do this. You will bring a Styrofoam ball that has been wrapped in thread and is ready for the design work. Watch the newsletter for instructions on how to prepare your ball. ❖

President’s Message 

I am thrilled to have Deanna Baugh teaching us about warping at this guild meeting.  She is such an accomplished weaver and an excellent technician.  I always pick up pointers when she teaches.  I find you can always add new little ideas to your weaving methods.  I am sure I have heard some of them before, but now I am ready to use that technique and it just clicks in my mind. 

Lori Webb will do a demonstration of how to wrap the ball to get ready for our April guild meeting on Temari balls.  This will help you get ready for the April Guild meeting. 

We will also have the instructions for Inge Dam’s May workshop at the April meeting for those who have signed up for the workshop.  The estimated cost is $150, 

Now is the time to contact a board member about what you would like to do at our Saturday Utah Fiber Festival day.  We will have Inge Dam talk about pebble weave and do a ‘hands on’ class.  We will need to plan at least 3 more half day classes. 

I hope your winter has been a good time to weave.  This has been a year when more infections have been going around – at least weaving can be a solitary occupation on good days. 

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
