Happy New Year Heritage members! Forgive my tardiness for not getting this out sooner, my party hat has been sitting with a jaunty twist this year and certainly has gotten in the way of business!
Our meeting, as you see, is Monday Jan. 8th so hope none of you were waiting to get in at the door on the 1st!
I hear that the Christmas/Holiday party was another rousing success with much reveling going on by the masses. Always a highlight of the year, it looks like everyone had a wonderful time, including Bernie, who got her basket stolen a lot in the "mean game".
Bonnie took the pictures which I'll include in this newsletter showing the fun and frivolity that everyone enjoyed. |

Special Saturday Weave
Saturday January 20, 2007
Pam Feix, Instructor
Jim Rutherford's Small Burma Border Tote
Time to get back to weavin' ladies! This basket is woven with bleached binder cane and topped off with 1/2" leather tote handles. The class will create the basket on a mold using doubled spokes, doing start/stop weaving, cheese weaving, creating the 4 "Thai" feet and doing the Burmese lashing on the rim. Liners are not included, but some will be available for an additional cost of $16. This basket is a challenge, yet fun to make.
The basket is 9 1/2" longx 7 1/4" wide x 8 1/2" tall without handles. The class may take 6 hours for some, 8 for others.
The cost is $50, we'll weave from 9-5 at the Enon United Methodist Church, 85 Broadway, Enon, Ohio. Bring a brown bag lunch.
Please respond ASAP to Bonnie as molds are needed for this project! Evergreencottage@columbus.rr.com |

Sharon Dempsey has been contacted by Joanna Schanz with this information:
Feb 17-18, 2007 Willow Weaveing Weekend at High Amana, IA www.broomandbasket.com.
Instructors will be Joanne E. Schanz and Jo Campbell Amsler. No more than 5 students per teacher, classes are tailored to each student's level of skill.
April 27-29, 2007, Festival of American Basketry . This will offer 6 different classes for all skill levels with Jackie Abrams, Jackie Bedworth and Donna Kallner instructing. Use the same website for that information. |

And one last bit of information from Carol White: Donna Mollaun, from the Daughters of the American Revolution, is looking for some type of colonial, early German-American reenactment folks to demo basketry of that period. The event will happen on May 11-13th which includes Mother's Day weekend. This appears to be just a demonstration opportunity, however I know there are several of you who do this sort of thing, perhaps another era. For more information or if you are interested contact Donna Mollaun at tmollaun@aol.com. |

And so, dear friends, as we begin a New Year, my wishes for you all are health and happiness and a lot of fresh reed in your stashes! Good weaving to you all and I'll see you sometime this year! Karen |
