January 8th Meeting CANCELED

Sue has decided to cancel guild due to the forecast of blowing snow and frigid temps for Thursday.  

Since we aren't having guild on January 8, Ann will need to know how many 3" bases will be needed for the Small Christie basket for February.  Please contact Ann  as soon as possible with your request, she will order  bases for the guild.  

Please note the attached photos of the Small Christie basket including a close up of the cool rim, and list of materials needed for weaving the basket.
