October 2, 2021 Meeting Minutes

Our meeting was called to order by President Denise at 9:00 a.m.
There were twelve members present.
The September minutes and changes to the Bylaws were approved unanimously.

Patterns: for absent members, patterns will be available in a file folder kept by Denise. It is your responsibility to check the folder file. Patterns will always be handed out a month before the pattern is woven. 

November 13, the French Bread Basket will be led by Krista. Hamburg cane is used for a portion of the basket and orders were taken for black cane to weave with. Krista also handed out the pattern for the remaining materials needed.

Sharon passed out the materials list for the December and January Baby Bushel Basket. The hardware needed can be obtained from her. There is a sign up sheet for bases.

JoAnn will lead our February and March weave with a two-month double wall project.

It was suggested to weave the Square Footed Storage Basket in April. The guild wove this one back in October 2017. It is one of Dianne Gleixner’s patterns. All ideas are welcome and will be discussed at the November 6 meeting.

A motion was made by Ruth and Jane to adjourn the meeting at 9:35 a.m.

Weavers worked on the Oval Basket for the remainder of the evening.
