ANWG 2009 #weaving #spinning

Cats In Our Lives, Weaving & Spinning | Posted by Cheri Diehl

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.




Jewelry Making

Weaving & Spinning | Posted by Cheri Diehl

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.

img_0030 March 17, 2007  Our program was Kumihimo Braiding.  Very simple, but you can create gorgeous “braids”.  We will be using these in our jewelry making class in April.  Thanks to Jill Benish for putting together the program.  The Clatsop Weavers and Spinners Guild meets the 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washingto.  The spinners in our group get together the 1st Tuesday and every Thursday to spin.  Contact me for more info! img_0033
