| HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JULY 2011 MEETING. Our thanks to Julie Kleinrath who taught " Bushel Basket with Pottery Handles and left she in her truck the next morning to move to Colorado. We wish Julie a safe journey and best of luck in her next business adventure in her new store! |
| Julie sells her basket kits and gets help from Lorry. |
| The spokes were put in first on the wood base. |
| Next, the sides were woven. There wasn't time to finish the basket during meeting time, so we all had "homework" to do. |
| Bushel Basket with Pottery Handles. |
| Cookie has been experimenting weaving around different plastic liners to create a basket. She is holding one of her creations. |
| Barb S. is making kits with pony beads for children. Each kit contains a pattern, beads & a strand of weaving ribbon to make an animal key chain. She had lots of help from guild members. |
| AUGUST WEAVING PROJECT The basket being taught is called "Sweetie" designed by Candace Katz and taught by Linda Seever & Cheri Mullins. It is now a free pattern on the internet but we thought it was cute and small and great for Guild. Supplies: 2" slotted square base #2 RR or #3 RR for spokes #2 RR or #3 RR for weavers (either do the entire basket in #2 or #3) 60 8mm wood beads cut 24 spokes for RR @ 6" Kits will be $15.00. This will be for entire kit and pattern. I know we announced $12.00 but the beads became very hard to find. Please let Linda or Cheri know if you did not sign up in July. ASAP. Contact Linda at Lseever1@woh.rr.com or Cheri Mullins at paintbrush1966@yahoo.com |

| MEMBERS TID - BITS Our church, Lord of Life Lutheran Church in West Chester, OH is going on a mission trip with Vicar Bob (our intern pastor) to South Dakota to do repairs on the Pastor’s house. We will be putting shingles on the roof, replacing the storm door, and painting the entire outside of the house. There are other smaller tasks like eave troughs, down spouts, flashing and soffits. We will also be meeting with potentially 60 kids, decorating puppets, performing some Christian puppet skits at dinner, making wallpaper lizards, making pony bead critters to “Take Care of God’s Creatures”, and performing a flannelgraph enactment of the Creation Story at another dinner, along with paper Creation flowers. We will be driving from home, leaving Friday, July 22, and arriving late Saturday, July 23. We will be there until Friday, July 29, hopefully to arrive home late Saturday July 30.....Barb Schimming The Fall Weave in the Park will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2011. Our guest instructor is Venie Hinson from Northeast Ohio. Hours are 9:30 to 4:00. We have reserved the Red Fox Run shelter, Taylorsville MetroPark. This is the same pavilion we used in May.

DEADLINES: Sign up NLT 10 August; payment due by 19 August. **Venie has asked if there is anyone in the guild that could provide her accommodations Friday, Sep 9...........Cookie. Linda Fabian of Fabian woodworks retiring from teaching at conventions and weaves. Last Teaching was at KBA. I think they will take orders whiles supply last! I found this out at KBA. .....Mary rhodes Following are the suggestions that were handed in regarding Mid-Summer Weave. These are not in any particular order. 1. Wasn’t impressed with selection of baskets to choose from. 2. Too similar baskets as other weaves. 3. Need to have Flyers, etc at Stateline. 4. Wasn’t variety to choose from. 5. Need to send post card reminders to attendants from previous years. 6. Perhaps make it less expensive. 7. Use more of our excellent Ohio teachers or guild members to keep cost down. 8. Give guild members more of a discount. 9. Have a more simple lunch or give option that doesn’t include lunch. Barb Mid Summer Weave Committee Members Needed! We are looking for people to be on the Mid Sumer Weave Committee for next year 2012. We will need to have a meeting very soon and send out letters to possible teachers. Please contact Linda Seever if you are interested. We already have someone committed to do the brochure. Please contact me soon. We need to get started. Lseever1@woh.rr.com As of July 20th Julie is now safely at home in Colorado......Linda Seever Congratulations to guild member, Jennie Dranschak who is the featured artist July 22 – July 29 at the Vandalia Municipal Building at 333 James E.
