]]> What a great time we had!  Saturday and Sunday, July 25 & 26, 2009, the Clatsop Weavers & Spinners Guild hosted a workshop by Janis Thompson of Eugene, OR.  The theme was Adventures in Color and we spent 2 days creating incredible rovings on our carders and then spinning and plying.  It was all fascinating and fun!

Our guild meets monthly for business on the 3rd Tuesday at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, WA.  The spinners meet on the 1st Tuesday either in Ocean Park (the beautiful Long Beach Peninsula) or Astoria, OR (also beautiful!) and every Thursday evening at the Shelburne Inn.

]]> What a great time we had in Spokane! Cheri, Jill, Marty, Sharon, Lori, Ann & Sondra were able to travel to Gonzaga for the 2009 ANWG Conference. We attended several seminars, did lots of shopping and Cheri & Jill were able to stay for post-conference workshops.  Sondra planned an early morning surprise party for Marty’s “big” birthday and Marty treated everyone to a beer after dinner.  While our Guild Booth didn’t win any awards, we think it was one of the best!  Enjoy the photos.  They aren’t in any specific order.  If you put the cursor on them, they’ll give you a title.

]]> The Clatops Weavers & Spinners Group has a contingent of spinners who get together most every Thursday evening at the historic Shelburne Inn.  We’re happy to have people watch or give spinning a “spin”!  Drop by and say hi to us, try your hand at either a spinning wheel or drop spindle, or just watch in awe.
