September 6, 2019 Meeting Minutes

Meeting was called to order by Denise, President @ 6:00 p.m.

15 members were present

Annual dues are now due ($25).

October we will weave the Antique Storage basket, compliments of Suzanne Moore's NC Basket Works. Please go to www.ncbasketworks.com to print off your pattern and supply list. Jacket covers will be handed out at the next meeting. If you'd like to save the guild money, you can furnish your own and we'll be grateful.

Ellie Lida will be our instructor for our annual Potluck Fall Weave, two days back-to-back are scheduled: Friday, October 18 at 5:00-8:30 p.m. and on Saturday, October 19 at 8:30-5:00 p.m. at the church. Watch for your email from Krista regarding your choice of reed color and please respond to her immediately.

Just a reminder:

Future potlucks and all day weaves are going green. This will not only help save the environment, but will save our guild a sum of money. Please bring your own table setting for potlucks. Keep at least one setting in your vehicle in a shopping bag so you do not forget. Also, we will now have sign up sheets for set-up, clean-up, and food on these occasions.

Our spring weave committee consists of Ann and Denise, more information will follow in the coming months.

MONTHLY TIPS brought to you by our seasoned members:

If you need space-dyed cane, contact Marla Sunstrum.

The best glues for basketry:

- 8600 Glue found at Joann Fabrics

- White Gorilla Glue sets fast and works well too

Date your patterns with the month and year that the guild wove it.

Informative videos on the web @ Curious Mondo Monkey. A lot of art videos.

Show & Tell

My bad, I didn't take any pictures ladies. My apologies.

Here's a big shout out to the creative ladies of our guild that brought their summer weavings to share:

Patti, Sharon, Dawn, Krista and Geri.

We're trying to fill the year with monthly basket weavings. Check the guild calendar on our blog for what's scheduled. Perhaps you'd like to show us your stuff and teach us something new at a meeting that is open. Let your officers know so your choice month can be blocked.

You might also notice on our blog a picture of our "Dipping Day" at Judy's back in July. We had a few leather strapped totes that we dipped. Judy & Stephanie were great hostesses, thank you both!

Meeting adjourned @ 6:24 p.m.
