April 7, 2016 Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order @ 6:05 p.m. by Krista, President.
The March minutes were approved without changes.
Roll call attendance was taken by Geri, Secretary.

OLD BUSINESS discussed more details of upcoming weaves:

APRIL MEETING
Dawn will lead both meetings in April. We will start the Old World Market Baskets at our regular meeting April 7th, and finish all of them on a Saturday, April 23rd @ the church. We ask that you bring the unstained, finished baskets to the May meeting for donating. All of the reed will be purchased by the guild and Dawn will cut the stakes in advance for this project. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Dawn! Discussion was then led into when and who would like to go to Old World Wisconsin sometime in May to deliver the baskets. Everyone is invited, more at the April meeting. Old World is located in Eagle, WI.

NEW BUSINESS
Discussed ideas for our June weave, Flowing Rainbows. Pattern will be emailed to each member.

A Saturday fall weave will consist of making the Laundry Luger basket. The base is 16 x 11…it’s a big one ladies! More information will be available in June.

SHOW & TELL
Sue brought in two Discombobulated baskets that were amazing. Also a Mockingbird mail basket and a Shamrock basket. Too cute!

Connie shared her Indian Summer in turquoise, a Pin Cushion basket, and a Square Bread basket.

All very nice and very useful, thank you ladies!

Meeting was adjourned by 6:24 p.m.
For the remainder of the evening the guild worked on the Market Basket to donate to Old World Wisconsin. A couple of people finished in one night! Show-offs!
