Welcome to the West Alabama Fiber GuildNewsletterHappy Father's Day!

We do not have a specific program planned for the next meeting. Bring
whatever project you would like to work on, or just come and chat.

Request from Larisa regarding the new guild logo and business card:
We need high quality photos of handmade items, preferably something
woven or knitted, in turquoise and blue to use in our new contact card
design. Interested members can email photos or bring the actual items
for photographing to the next meeting.

Topic: Spinning & Plying Novelty Yarns

Ten members were present.
Larisa will work on a new design for our guild logo and business card.

Jennifer and Glynda went to The Middle Tennessee Fiber Festival and had a
good time. They brought back two packages of specialty fibers for
today's door prize drawing. Thanks, Jennifer and Glynda!

Larisa has a bag of Jiffy Stitchery kits that are free for anyone interested. The kits will be stored in the guild cabinet for now.

I have a quantity of wine corks if anyone wants some for crafting. Just ask!

Topic: Spinning Sunday

Members shared projects and conversation. There was quiet a buzz about the upcoming Fiber Festival in
Tennessee. Several members are going and planning to stay at least one
night. There was also a lot of conversations about Tat Days due to the
new information about available classes the Palmetto Tatters Guild recently posted.

Nanette S. brought a beautiful dress she crocheted as a single piece. It was just stunning.
