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.

Great turnout for the meeting at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, WA. We had a business meeting, enjoyed our brown bag lunches and some show ‘n share. We also had a mini-yard sale of weaving/spinning/knitting goodies that members wanted to sell. After the meeting a few of us headed to Marty’s house to work on the guild booth for ANWG.
April 21 2009. Joy Winther of Kalama (a past member of the Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild) put on a wonderful program showing us how to make jewelry out of thrums (leftover warp). For this class we first made a Kumihimo braid.
In 2007, our illustrious leader, Marty Lemke, travelled to the Cook Islands and returned with a beautiful postcard for each member. There was a catch though. We wrote our names on the cards and then they were drawn by other members. The challenge: to make some fiber-related item based on the theme of the card and present it to the owner of the card at the Christmas Party. What a wonderful time we had and it was fascinating to see the finished projects. All were beautiful, all were very different.
