November and December Meeting Dates

10/15/2012

Hello!
Since our meetings fall on the 4th Saturday of each month we always have to fiddle with November and December because of the holidays that also fall near that weekend.I wanted to get this information out as soon as possible so that you could plan on these out-of-sync dates for our meetings.

For the month of November 2012. . . we will be meeting on the 17th of the month, which is the 3rd Saturday. I do realize that this date is just one day after Koelbel and that it also coincides with the Heritage Hookers, and I apologize for that, but it is the best we could do.

For December we will be meeting on the 8th from 12 until 4:30. Please plan on bringing a snack to share with the group. We will also have a 1/4 yard wool and ornament gift exchange.

I hope that you have had time to check out the Events page of this website and have taken a look at our teaching schedule for 2013 and also a look at the pattern book/fund-raiser for the next ATHA biennial!

Judy Peterson's fantastic Grenfel Goose

Last weekend's freeze took care of my garden and I have to admit I am looking forward to more hooking time! Of course now it is time to clean the garden beds and add fresh compost and manure for next year. It is always nice to have the time to let it all rest over the winter.! It was the best year ever for tomatoes and I hope next year the crop will be just as tasty.

Our meeting in September was phenomenal! We had 3 program demos. . . starting with Pam Sisk giving a great demo on marbelizing. She brought in many samples of her marbelized fabrics and showed how to utilize both recycled and new wool with this technique.

Our guild Vice President, Jenny Schechter, gave a fascinating description and history of the LuLu technique. She brought in a rug that she has been working on that employs that technique and another example completed by guild member Sandy Walker. Jenny showed how to do the LuLu and talked about how to identify patterns that would accommodate the wide loops.

Our third program was provided by Leah Karo who talked about proddy and different ways to use this technique in your rugs. Leah brought a large piece that she is working on and pulled some wool proddy just using a regular rug hook — showing that there is no need for any specialized tools!

There was a lot of shared enthusiasm for all of the programs and I am sure that much of what was learned at this meeting will be utilized to enhance many rugs in the future!

Our guild members decided in August to utilize guild funds to purchase some bolts of backing and a bolt of red dot pattern paper. Quink Arlt has agreed to be the "Keeper of the Linen"! Please email Quink (on the home page of this website) with your yardage requirement and she will be happy to cut the fabric and bring to the next meeting!
