Spring newsletter deadline is approaching—Sunday, March 1

By Leave a Comment

Spring is slowly moving our direction.  At least in our hopes.

Sunday, March 1  is the deadline for the newsletter.

Please send newsletter materials, especially items of recent doings and program notes for the upcoming CWG year. A President’s letter, program notes, study group notes and member’s news will all be welcome.

No doubt that photos of your projects, a new technique or yarn you are trying,  or a weaving reference book you have discovered will be welcome. Or even an essay about your weaving adventures, discoveries, or compatriots. Perhaps a quandary that you would like help with.

In earlier discussions about the foibles of our weaving work might fit into a new column based on Penelope’s weaving tactics——you know, the part where she weaves and unweaves.  We all have stories about our version so please send yours.

Contribute directly to Nancy or to newsletter@cuyahogaweaversguild.com

Congratulations from your CWG friends.

Helena continues with this proposal:

“Would the guild (or individuals) like to visit a weaving exhibit I am in? It’s open through April 4th at the Mansfield Art
Center. I’d love to walk through together. All the weavings are different in design and execution and the

building is stunning wood and sunlight. 
And… Grandpa’s Cheese Barn is on 71 on the way from Cleveland — yum!”

CWG cancellation and thoughts about re-scheduling

By Leave a Comment

Due to today’s weather, the  CMA field trip was canceled.  Our guide, Laura Martin, is willing to set up another date.

If you have an interest in  re-scheduling, please communicate some dates to Bob or Nancy.  Keep in mind that the exhibit closes February 1.

Meanwhile, staying safe takes precedence.
