Hello,
I have been introduced to the guild by MaryAnn Kirkpatric. I would like to formally join the guild. Unfortunatly I woun’t be able to come to meetings for at least the next three months. I just took on an Art teaching position at the Edmonds Homeschool Program. But, I have spent the last 8 months trying to re-learn my weaving skills, and complete some pieces. If you are taking new members, let me know! I really like what I have seen on this blog.
Thank you
Suzanne Patton – Mukilteo
Hi, Suzanne!
We’d love to have you come join us — sounds like you could make it in September? Congratulations on getting a job at the Cyber School, I’m sure you have a lot of knowledge to share with the kids. If you need yarn for school projects, let us know, we’re usually happy to pass on odds and ends that work well for kids learning to weave or do other fiber arts.
